He made a base loaded long wire.

And this means what, exactly? That the 6m pipe with 1200m of wire did
nothing but provide a better impedance match between the radio and the
existing longwire?

Question:
How does one make a loading coil for a specific frequency;

- &
Has anyone made SEVERAL loading coils, switching between them
( all hooked to a long wire)
for better reception on different frequencies

- What works WORKS !!

You just made yourself the equivalent of a Hamstick. There's some
frequency out there at which it's going to work like gangbusters! At
that frequency it should outperform your other antennas. But as you get
away from that frequency, whatever it is, it will be worse than a
straight wire antenna.

Don't leave them in suspense Carl. Tell them what that very narrow
frequency is OK.

Only if his other antennas are equally bad.
