With all this talk about Long Wire & Beverage Antenna's, I wished the FCC would have not stopped the AM Broadcaster from using slant wire feeds. Yes I know they claim they cause a directional pattern, but I've read where some engineers don't agree with that theory. 

The slant wire feed would have been a blessing to me last year! Less maintenance once it is set up right, from what I hear.
