New EWE Antenna thoughts  View Printable Version 
Sunday, January 13 2019

IRCA
My Eastern Beverage is history. I went up to the top of the hill and found the wire broke and the fence posts down including parts of even the neighbors electric fencing. Come to find out, the Elk destroyed it and since the herd of elk, maybe 50 of them have decided to be here often, putting up the wire again is probably not in the cards. Anyway, after I had to raise it back in 2004, it never had the directional properties I had on top of the old barbed wire fence, 4 feet off the ground. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I plan a new East/West EWE, right from my back yard to the side yard. I figure 30 feet high at 110 feet in length, giving me about 170 feet of wire. I was first going to just make it an Western EWE aimed at Asia, but I figured in my backyard why not a East/West one. Never tried an Eastern EWE before. Should be interesting. I can easily hook up a switch set up or an electronic way of switching. I can then get the variable termination set up I got from Colin I have not used as yet. I could also run two wires like twisted pair side by side, one for the Eastern EWE and one for the Western Ewe, but I do know if they would interfere with each other. I need to repair the SW EWE that came down too. The one over to the tree in the field. Between our storms, the Elk and the salt air, it sure takes a toll on the antennas around here. More later.

I had the good fortune of having my antenna(s) survive an all-day-rain yesterday and a huge increase in wind and decrease in temperature overnight AND being part of a TP opening this morning from Quoddy House near Lubec, Maine.

Starting as soon as the strongest TA carriers faded away others remained. This was the loudest I’ve ever heard these here in Maine and I’m sure there are others to be found. I know I have good signals from Japan on 774 and 747kHz, for example.

Korea on 972kHz is one of the most common [not really anything ‘common’ about it] TPs here near solar minima:

Not so common is China on 1206kHz in Korean:

Also not common is Japan on 1287kHz:

http://realmonitor.com/qh12/1287-1014-Nov14.wav

I have a KiwiSDR up and running and Quoddy House for the duration of my visit [Saturday AM]:

Enjoy!

Thanks for the hint Mauno!

Just barely there on QH KiwiSDR at 1320utc.

Looks like all the modulation is on the LSB.
