Jason,

What you are talking about is not a true LongWire Antenna, but a most
likely a "Random" Wire Antenna.

The best advice about a Random Wire antenna is for what every
Horizontal Length that you can put up: Try to have it elevated
(height) at 1/3 that Length. The result will be an Omni-Directional
Antenna. That will allow you to receive signals from all directions.

Take the time to read about the Low Noise Antenna design by John Doty.

However, if you are talking about an Antenna . . .
- That is over 579 Foot Long . . .
- - The that is Truely a Different Question ? ? ?
- - - Sit Down and Have a Beverage or two ! ! !

Hello all

I live in Northern Alberta Canada, and I am going to put up a long wire
antenna. Should I orientate it in any specific direction, or just
string it up ?


Thanks, Jason
