Will a shortwave longwire antenna work if it is laid on the ground or does
it have to be hung in the air from a tree or something similar?
It will work laid on the ground, just not as well as if you got it as high
as possible.
I have seen plans for underground antennas before, however, they only work
well from MF up to around 4 mHz. In other words, they work best on signals
that propagate via groundwave.
