My first question, Barry, would be to ask the quality of your ground, since EWEs require a good ground. For the life of me, I don't understand why most people wouldn't use a ground independent antenna (like the Conti corner fed loop) rather than a EWE, unless they can be guaranteed a very good ground system 12 months of the year........Walt (a VERY happy Conti user)
