[Elecraft] Long wire antennas

[William Levy]

The most important thing for a radio is a counter poise long enough for 1/4
of the frequency in use.

For many of you before you were born I was in Africa and had a 700 foot
longwire between to poles, huge sag between, L network and a 100 foot
counterpoise.

Never required much tuning on the longwire between 20/15/10 just a touch
with a cheap swr bridge to measure then back to the op position.

So I write this to say to all use as much wire as you can for the antenna
connected to your little radio and a counterpoise as long.

If your KX3 or 2 has the built in ATU so much the better.

COSMIC rule of antennas! The more wire the better. Always.
