* Radial Wire Antennas are a very simple and easy way
of obtaining amazingly good radio reception on longwave,
mediumwave and the lower shortwave bands.
..
* The Radial Wire Antenna is simply a length of wire
laid on the ground in a straight line. Connect the wire
to the receiver as normal and connect an earth, the same
as any longwire type Antenna
..
* The Radial Wire Antenna's wire length & direction
depends on the frequency and direction of the stations
you wish to hear.
..
* The Radial Wire Antenna is not a practical Antenna
for your home location, not in a town or city anyway.
If you are prepared to drive off to a good location
with your radio and wires for an afternoon and/or
evening of amazing listening from the relative comfort
of your vehicle, then read on.

"If You Build It {SWL Antenna} You Will Hear Them !"

KVOO,Tulsa is 419 miles (674 KM,364 Nautical Miles,I looked it up at
indo.com,Find Distance) Northwest of where I live and I love Western
Ranch Music.I can't pick up KVOO (kvoo.com) from where I live on my
radio's.My yard area measures about 170 feet West to East and about 60
feet North to South.If I lay an antenna like that on my yard,would that
let me pick up KVOO,Tulsa,Oklahoma real good on my radio's? Will that
help/improve Shortwave listening too? I would probally need to bury the
wire in my yard about two or three inches so that when I mow my yard in
the Summertime,my lawnmower wouldn't be snagging on the wire.(one day
when I was driving that old reject Clark forklift at Tan Son
Nhut,sombody had left a whole roll of flat steel banding wire laying
partway in the road.It was just wayyyyy too tempting,,,,, I just had! to
get the right rear wheel of that forklift snagged on that roll of
banding wire! Accidently on purpose,of course :{)
