Bill,

Congratulations on such a great morning!!!

By the way, do I remember that you have one or more EWEs??? Oh, I see 
from your signature that my memory is not yet totally shot. How 
confident are you of the grounds?  I can't really imagine an 
excellent ground in the entire state of Arizona (I used to live in 
Phoenix:>) You might try an experiment by shifting the EWE to the 
Conti Super Loop configuration.  It is a very easy and cheap 15 
minutes of effort. The shift to Conti configuration will cost you 
some gain (cutting it about 40%) but the improvement in Signal/Noise 
ratio and back-side nulling may more than make up for it. That was 
certainly the case out here on this rocky island.
