Default another stealth antenna idea

Here is another stealth idea.

My roof is approx 25ft off the gnd, so I was able to run a LOOOOOOOOONG wire
from inside of the attic out a window vent, up to the roof and thru a series
of TV type screw in standoffs, starting at the peak, up and down the short
sides of the roof, along the long sides just above the gutters, and back
into the attic. Then around the attic a couple of times. My roof is
approximately 30 x 90 feet so all of this is approximately 540 ft long. I
also use a auto tuner and a cable isolator (5 or so turns of the feed coax
at the base of the tuner), and this works, not the best, but 80m - 2m. I
also can switch the configuration from a long loop to a long wire.
