[IRCA] SW EWE Day bandscan

[mwdxer@xxxxxxxxx (Patrick Martin)]

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. The
first copper rod made an 80% change, but adding the second even helped
more. The old EWE is back where it was 15 years ago and it is quiet as a
mouse. The noise level is nil on the frequencies there are no stations.
Threshold is at a point where the weak signal, which there are many are
just above the receiver noise. I had forgotten how well that antenna
worked, but the old copper clad rods I put in back in the 80s got in bad
shape. I had changed the wire, and repaired anything that looked or
acted bad on the matching transformers, coax, etc, but I did not think
of the ground rods at the end. But what a difference. Here is a bandscan
I did between 1-2 PM PDT.
The SW EWE now does a much better job on knocking down the signals to
the N/NE/E. It should be all set for the DU/TP DX this Fall. I already
noted a weak 2ZB-1035-New Zealand on it last night.
Now the bandscan.
