[Antennas] Dipole vs random wire

[David W Sher]

I have a 200' wire, up about 20', end fed with a tuner, around 3 sides of
a suburban lot.  Also, a Butternut HF-9V, mounted 10' above ground with
radials.  The wire is OK, but the B'nut is better generally, especially
for DX.  I can tune the wire up on 160, however, (nice for the contest
this weekend!).  I intend to hang a coil on the end of the wire to load
it up more for better tuning on 160.
