hi

i was just reading about airforce plans that had a trailing wire which
when fully extended was 6miles long


i was just wondering given that environment and assuming a few
varied yet unknown frequencies...


how well does such a antenna work, when assuming it is multiple
waves long?? i mean does anyone know from first hand experience how
they worked?? good bad?? just talking signal wise


i can extrapolate technically how it 'ought' to work but wonder




thanks


i didn't assume anything, it was clearly stated in certain articles
about that, that the antenna was realled out to different lengths
dependind on things some of which were frequency


thanks Cecil
