IOW, what length must an end fed wire be to exhibit the
characteristics of a "LongWire" antenna ?

From the IEEE Dictionary: "long-wire antenna - A wire antenna
that, by virtue of its considerable length in comparison with
the operating wavelength, provides a directional radiation
pattern."

One can observe the "directional radiation pattern" just
beginning to take effect on a one wavelength end-fed antenna.
