BURR,
I AM GLAD YOU ASKED ) YES - It Can Be Done: By using a 'single wire' Antenna Element. Natually the Longer the Random Wire (Longwire) Antenna the better. Here-is-a-TIP: Use TV Twin Lead, Speaker Cord, or Landscaping Lighting Cable (Heavy Duty Outdoor Zip Cord). [Two Wire Pair] ?WHAT? = DUAL Random Wire Antennas = Two of a Kind ! * Use one wire as the Near-End (House) Antenna Element. * Use the other wire as the Far-End (Garage) Antenna Element. This can be configured in several Antenna Shapes; depending the layout of your buildings and other support structures: * Dual Flat Top (Horizontal) Random Wire Antennas. FP------------------------------x x-------------------------------FP "FP" = Feed-Point of the Antenna "x" = End (Far-End) of the Antenna * Dual Half-Square (?) Random Wire Antennas __________________________________ |.______________________________.| |.|............................|.| |.|............................|.| |.|............................|.| |.|............................|.| |.|............................|.| |.|............................|.| F.x............................F.x P..............................P * Dual Inverted "L" Random Wire Antennas _________________________________x |.x_____________________________ |..............................| |..............................| |..............................| |..............................| |..............................| |..............................| F..............................F P..............................P Hey - What Works - WORKS !

That's cool RHF,
You did a lot of work on that and it took time to format. I already have a single longwire in the eves but, I'll work something up later along your guide lines. I sure like that.
