Agree wholeheartedly with the dipole comments - I live on the Gulf coast of
Florida, right on the water, and have an 80-ft longwire, end-fed, about 35
feet up and sloping down to a fence post. Coax to a Grove TUN-4 and an Icom
R75 and a Drake. Reception is fantastic! Can't go wrong with a long...wire,
that is

What you have is a sloping inverted-L antenna. A real longwire is much
longer than 80-ft for most of the HF spectrum.
