How long is too long for a random longwire? I live out in the country with
lots of trees around the house and all over my property - have one 80' wire from a tree in the side yard, a 45' PAL end-fed wire from chimney to mast...and not satisfied with overall reception. Feeding both into a Grove TUN4, then out to R75 and R71. Longer wire? I have 500 ft or so of good gauge - how long or short should it be for optimum reception? When I lived in town an 80' wire was great...seems it would be better out here, but it's not for some reason. Suggestions?? |
