Re: [IRCA] How much ground for a EWE?



Hi Nick:

I have seen plans for this same type of a set-up that you included from
Bruce Conti but it uses two (or maybe four) slinky's.  I've dreamed of
taking two or four slinky's and mounting them on a piece of plywood, in
the same fashion.

Sounds like you have a terminated corner-fed loop, Paul.

I believe Bruce Conti first described it, see
http://www.bamlog.com/superloop.htm

What dimensions do you use?

best wishes,

Nick
