Re: [IRCA] Alaskans/EWE Antenna plans

Patrick:

I don't think I would lump Beverages and EWE's together in terms of where
they should point. Beverages will usually have lowest reception directly
broadside (90 degrees away) while EWE's will have lowest reception off the
back.

The Grayland NW Beverage was 320 degrees per the compass or 300 degrees true
bearing once the magnetic declination error is removed. Previously they had
been about 280 degrees true bearing. The big difference this time was not
the bearing but rather the length - before we had maybe 900' to 1000' and
this time I'm estimating 1300'.

Chuck,

You were phasing the West against the NW then. OK, I am looking at
putting up a new NW EWE as I can make the room. You are right, using a
Westerly EWE or beverage, you may not have Californians to deal with as
much. The "plus" in using a beverage is the directivity would be sharper
though. I fiqure the NW EWE would be pointed at about 330 degrees. Aimed
pretty much between Anchorage & Fairbanks. But may be a bit shorter at
20X50X20. What directions were the beverages running 300, 330? 

73,

Patrick
