Well I have a little design update, leading to more questions:
I already have a 60' Rohn 25G tower at the house. What I am wondering is:
- Can I use the tower to deepen the null off the end of an EWE? [Tower will NOT be connected to EWE, just in close proximity & grounded]
- What spacing would I need to get away from the tower to get the best null [if any]?
What I have in mind is 3 [or poss.4] EWEs, facing 90~120 degs apart, almost forming a "turnstile" for directivity N-E-S-W & switched for obvious reasons.
As you can tell, I have yet to put up a single EWE antenna yet. Considering it was almost lightning gods' season when I got started researching, I dragged my feet & decided to build what I need [transformer/termination boxes] over Summer so I can sweep the install for next Fall's Listening Season.
In the meantime, my current Full-Wave 7MHz loop works just fine for my mainly exercise of pirate listening!!! IF I get itchy, a 2nd FW Loop might go up favoring E/W but only after June Field Day exercise. It is currently rolled up on my Radio Room floor waiting to stretch out & deploy!
Any help appreciated!
