Hi Jerry
If you want to play with a very high performance EWE array, you can try this
one.
5m high , 7 m wide, 7m spaced, 4 EWE's in line. 49m total.
1st EWE 10 degree 510 ohms
2nd EWE 190 degree 540 ohms
3nd EWE 180 degree 510 ohms
4nd EWE 0 degree 540 ohms
This antenna is narrow as 57 degree and punch a 13.8 db RDF, 160 to 40 m.
I prefer Delta Flags on the same configuration, you can get over 14 db RDF,
not much difference, but I can install it 1m over my metal fence.
I am building 2 x 4 EWE at 90 degree, on a corner, and it is possible to
switch 8 directions, but not with the same RDF.
I hope to work JT for my last zone on 160m.
