Re: [IRCA] EWE Antenna question. (2nd attempt!)

Barry,

Yes, EWE's are very forgiving.  Every one I have built works fine. I use
trees for supports here for the most part. So where ever there is a
branch, that is the height of the EWE. Separation of the vertical
sections have never been an issue. They all work well. A lot of the
artcles written on EWEs are aimed at the Ham Bands and to Ham operators.
It may be different on the higher frequencies. I use mine from 150-1700
khz mainly, but they do work on the Tropical Bands too.  But again, EWEs
do require a good ground. But if you have a decent ground there, go for
it!  I am spoiled with my EWEs here. I may even build a third one in the
future.  

73,

Patrick
