Hello IRCA'ers
Can anyone tell me if it would be of benefit to increase the height of the

Both of my EWEs are better than 20 feet in height and moving them from

Think of your EWE as the upper half of a loop antenna... the other
half is reflected in the ground. If you raise your EWE from 10' to
12' that is really adding 4 feet to its total height. The gain of a
loop is directly proportional to its area. In the ham world, its

I'm also sending you and John by email a pdf of the original article on the
EWE by the inventor.
Cheers
