[Elecraft] Any benefits to a Long "Long Wire"

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

I suspect I warm the clouds quite a bit since mine is only at 25' or so
- but it sure works well. In the future I'd like to see about putting up
some telephone poles.  Placed right I would also be able to build a
rhombic on the inside of the loop - or perhaps a multi-directional,
switchable V.  It's amazing what you can do with a length of wire.  And
it doesn't have to be real expensive.

At 25 feet you should work DX on 14 MHz and up. I do with a doublet at
that height. And a "cloud warmer" can be a great antenna for
communications at up to 1,000 miles on the lower bands!
