For 3783 kHz: EDZ length calculates out to 316' 8". We have 70' x 130' lots here, so I'd need some really cooperative neighbors :-)
I haven't heard anyone on that VE3KCY 50.170 MHz net (or anyone else on 6m for that matter) with my 80m inverted-V + tuner. I wonder if an EDZ would work better for 6m. Only ~24', I could manage one that long. Maybe even add a reflector for some more gain (just found an article by Cebik about that very idea:
http://www.antentop.org/w4rnl.001/edz.html).
