[Elecraft] Long wire antennas

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

A longer wire produces sharper lobes and, taken to an extreme, the pattern
breaks into multiple lobes. So it all depends upon whether the other station
is aligned with one of the lobes.

Not sure I believe this, lets say a 40 meter dipole, and an 80 meter
dipole-- the 40 dipole works far better on 40, than the 80 meter works on
40, so not always is more wire better.

Now if you are talking long wire, and forgot to state that, I am not sure,
I'd have to get the modeling software out...

73s and thanks,
