Telamon,

One of the more 'exciting' stories concerning the BroomStick
Antenna in the Middle East. This Guy built a 18Ft Long/Tall
BroomStick on 4" PVC Pipe. Plus, he had a 750 Ft Random Wire
Antenna connected to the Top of the BroomStick Antenna !

Hello - He had a 750 Longwire Antenna [.]

I've seen you mention this before, but, as I recall the story, the 750
foot longwire was an existing antenna. One would assume the guy knew
how the existing longwire performed and would not be raving about the
broomstick if the performance were not significantly better than that of
the longwire alone.

Admittedly, the whole annecdote needs significantly more information to
be able to draw any kind of legitimate conclusion about the longwire or
either of the broomsticks. And it would have been nice if he'd used a
bit more scientific method and a lot less "kitchen sink" in his approach
to antenna evaluation. But, barring further evidence, I don't think it's
valid to completely discount the broomstick by assuming the longwire was
doing all the work.

I'm not saying the broomstick is a wonder antenna, just that there is no
clear evidence in this annecdote to shoot it down.

He made a base loaded long wire.
