a quick question...newbie to HF so please be gentle.

a 25 mtr wire to go into a 12 ( ish ) mtr garden. Is it possible to double the wire back on itself so it extends out 12 & half
mtrs then loops round and back up 12 & half mtrs ?

just been told this is perfectly acceptable ( it's the wire length that's important rather than how it's installed ) but i seem
think i've been told this is a no no.

would the above installation effect performance ?

looking forward to advice



Bends should not be less than 90deg or the wires will tend to cancel out....

End fed might not be the best option, what do you want to listen to?
