no I mean long wire. 500' too long or not long enough for general band
coverage? (in a square) tx and rx

What frequency do you want to cover? 500ft would be a full wavelength
antenna for 1.872 Mhz.

If you're wanting CB then 34' is all you need.

Hello Conor,
Copy the 11 meter length for an antenna, I was thinking about running a
square horizontal
configuration of some sort and use it as a SW receive wire also, just for
S&G.

A buddy of mine runs a 250' square flat wire with a palstar tuner and it
works surprisingly well on 11 meters,
but somewhat directional. I have a 3 element flatside yagi now so I'm just
looking for an experimental wire
to wrap around part of the forest out back.

Thanks for the reply.

I think you'll find that only a bit of that is acting as the live wire.
