This may be - to communicate with submarines (VLF).
So your assumption that its multiple wavelengths long may be unwarranted.
It may be a quarter-wave, half-wave or any portion (or multiple) of a
wavelength.

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
