Hi Mark,
I would be curious if you are getting a significant S-Meter reading using
the external preamp and testing with the antenna disconnected from the
cable?
If so, my guess would be that the Ewe pattern is terribly distorted by its
surroundings, noise is coupling in from other sources - or
Good Morning!
Last night was the second night in a row with nice conditions between the
east coast and Europe on 160M.I took the time to get a cup of coffee
and spend a few hours comparing the Inverted-L and EWE, and recording my
observations.
All Inverted-L data was recorded with the Icom
Hi Mark,
I modeled your antenna last night, and have some comments.
There is almost as much reactance as resistance at the feedpoint of your
EWE based on your dimensions and termination resistor, but sounds like
that's typical (per the ON4UN low band DXing book). The back null is also
not as
