Joe Cro N3IBX says his "big antenna" is resonant from 1500 kHz to 46
mHz.

It is a military inverted-V, 110 ft. long total, with each end
terminated in a 150 ohm resistor driven into the ground, center fed
through a 9:1 balun.

Assuming this is not an April 1 joke:

(1) What are the drawbacks to this antenna?

(2) What is the feedline?

(3) Is there any more information about this type of antenna?

(4) What is the point of burying the resistor, rather than one lead?
