Vangellis,

The "Correct Way" to Install a Longwire Antenna and Balun
by Wellbrook - Using the Far-End Feed-Point Concept

The "Correct Way" to Install a Longwire Antenna and Balun
by Wellbrook = http://www.wellbrook.uk.com/longwire.html
We have all most likely done it the wrong way more than once . . .

A key-point that Wellbrook makes is the Five Metre
"Noise Zone" that exists around a House and getting
the Wire Antenna Element away {out} from this area.
http://www.wellbrook.uk.com/longwire.html
Note - The above "Correct Way" installation will ensure
that the Wire Antenna Element is 'outside' the local
Noise Zone which extends up to Five Metres (16 Feet)
around the House. Also the noise pickup is lower with
the feeder close to the ground -or- buried under the
ground a few inches.
-Why- The Antenna and the Balun are within the Local
Noise Zone RFI & EMF {Interference Area} that surrounds
most buildings up to distance of Five Metres (16 Feet).
