Re: [IRCA] SW EWE Day bandscan

[Bill Block <billwblock@xxxxxxx>]

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 start soon so I hope I can get my ground back.
