[IRCA] WNW EWE Antenna

[mwdxer@xxxxxxxxx (Patrick Martin)]

Greetings;

An interesting thing has happened. Since the tree in the backyard came
down and the 10 foot trunk is still there, I moved the WNW EWE over to a
20 foot piece of PVC pipe for the WNW leg of the 20X55X20 EWE. OK,
however with the tree pretty much gone, the directivity of the EWE has
changed. I have an idea that the water logged tree (Shur Pines, love
water), without the main part of the tree there, the pattern has
changed. With the A & K elevated, it is hard to tell for sure what the
effect is, but I guess trees can affect the directivity of antennas.
During the day, the pot at the termination, gives me deepter nulls for
Portland too. More checking is needed.


73,

Patrick
