BRIAN,
Expanding the Random Wire Antenna = Three Words: Go-For-It !
Its a "Random Wire" Antenna and 'any' Fold, Bend or Twist...
Simply Adds To It's Random-ness-Ness-NESS
)
If this is a On-the-Fence Antenna: Continue to run/route the
Antenna Element along the Top of the Fence; from one side of
the yard; then along the back side of the yard; and finally
along the opposite side of the yard. Start near the Ground
Go Up to the Top of the Fence; then go along the top of the
Fence until the far end; next go down to three to five feet
(about One Foot above the Ground level); and finally go along
the Bottom of the Fence until you reach the starting point.
This EXPANDEDS a Single Sided and On the Top Only (Single Run)
Antenna Element of 50 Feet into 50 Feet by Three Sides by
Top and Bottom to 300 Feet. (50x3x2=300)
If this is an In-the-Air Random Antenna: The same thing can
be done using a "TOP" Higher-Out-Leg at 20-40 Feet with a
"BOTTOM" Lower-Back-Leg 5-10 Feet below the TOP one.

My random wire is at about fifty feet since this is the end of
my lot. Would anything positive come from lengthening it another
fifty feet at a ninety degree angle? Just curious since I am
getting myself a used R8 or possibly an R75 in the next few
weeks and I want to put up the most wire possible.
My girlfriend shakes her head in disbelief.
