I WILL PUT MY LONGWIRE "L" UP TOMORROW, I WILL, FORSURE. DAMN IT

After my first big horizontal loop. I'll never bother with a random wire

I concur! The down side is the loop is one plate of a large capacitor.
It is easily charged by the occasional low, charged cloud or when the
cloud releases it's load of charged rain or snow. I have a large DPDT
switch in the 600 ohm feed line to ground the antenna. Can draw up to
1/4 inch arcs to ground.
