[BC] Long Wire

[Ron Cole]

We used to use Long WIres for FieldDay, it was a random length of wire, 500-750 ft were common lengths, they were  feed directly from an antenna tuner.   We would drive a ground rod into the ground the take some spare wire, like a 80 or 40 meter dipole and stretch that out as a couple of radials.

Those antennas always worked like a champ and were east to put up when working form remote locations.
