Another interesting thing I have found, I have been getting skip
during the day with both the Beverage EWE. Like Alturas, CA on 570
would fade up on top of KVI for a time and then fade under off the SW
EWE. But the skip is weak, so it is noticeable with such a very low
noise level.

You possibly have very salty soil being that close to ocean.
Thus the copper will be eaten quickly.
Have you ever thought of adding radials to your ground rods, you know the
way a radio station from their verticals?

Yes, our soil is rather salty. No doubts there. Infact in the Winter
when we have standing water out in the field, I have tasted it. It is
briney, but not near as much as ocean water. But I have always felt I
have an under-toe to the ocean, being less than a mile from the shore.

Hi Pat
It sounds like you sure have a good ground in Seaside. Here in Arizona I am
using 2=5 foot copper water pipe and one 8 foot ground rod for my ground and I
get almost no ground for my EWE. Its been a long time since we have had any
rain so the ground is very dry. The summer rain may
Hi Bill,
Thanks. I am impressed with the results of the SW EWE. I was beginning
to wonder if it was all cx back in the 80s 90s, but here I have to
keep in mind, it is all Ground Ground Ground

Greetings,
After adding a second good copper pipe ground rod at
the termination
point of the SW EWE, I have found I have really
increaded the nulls.
How deep are your ground rods? I wonder if going
really deep will help or do nothing? I think
Powell,
I don't know if I could hear one watt in July on 1720 off the beverage.
However, if it was Fall or Winter, maybe. I have several TIS stations
heard QSL'd on 1620, 1630, 1640, 1660, 1670, 1700 from the East. I
have the 10 watter from JFK on 1700, two VA's on 1620 (Also 10 watt),

Powell,
Don't need to go deep here. The soil is very wet, even damp in August.
In the Winter my ground system is 3-4 feet under water! Infact the
Winter before, the water level in the field next door was so high that
my pot where the termination is, was almost sitting in water. It came so
close
Patrick,
Did you try some cotter clamps?

You may want two, 8-foot ground rods. Space them at least
8 feet apart, if possible.

Charles,
I just ran 150 feet of cord over to the SW EWE and soldered in the wire
from the new ground rods. I have not done anything with the one splice I
have 450 feet down on the beverage as yet. I only have the one splice to
check on.

Charles,
I don't know how hard your soil is, but here I am lucky as it is very
soft in most areas. That is unless there is a tree root in the way. I am
not all that thrilled about the 8 foot copperclad rods that are
available here. The 4 foot Radio Shack ones, the copper wears off in a
few months
