Hi Mike,
I appreciate your comments.
I need to discuss this further with you – After SS CW.
I’ll be in touch next week.

Hi Bill,
I see you have a wide vertical spacing
(http://users.erols.com/n3rr/photos/dual_ew-1.jpg).
I don't doubt that they work well, as you say.
I did a fair amount of analysis about that design in the past. I forget the
finer details, and I'm not in the mood for any more math and modeling today,
but I want to throw out an idea.
That design might work slightly better if the spacing wasn't as large, or if
the wires were side-by-side. The way it is, the ground underneath it unbalances
it somewhat. The Z of the upper wire to ground vs. the Z of the lower wire to
ground is unequal.
Exactly how much difference in F/B in the reverse direction that makes, I don't
remember. But in some situations, changing the spacing or turning the wires 90
degrees might make the difference pulling a weak one out of the noise and QRM.
Not picking on you. Just food for thought. :-)
73, Mike
