[ARC5] Antenna for small yard

[J Mcvey]

Yeah, where there's a will there's a way! Not to mention that a 24 ft square has a perimeter of 96 feet and a 33.9 foot diagonal.!. 

Maybe 18ft is an optimal short length for 40 meters?  I was able to load up to 23 ft of wire on 40. I was testing to find out how long was too long.My thinking was once you are below 1/4 wavelenth, it's not really a resonant antenna anymore, or ar least not a good one. 
The E amplitide increases per unit length, so wouldn't longer be better?
Next up: propagation tests?

 Run 9-feet vertically and 24-feet horizontally.  Will work very well!

Please tell me how I'm supposed to fit a 33 foot antenna into a 24 foot yard.
