[Elecraft] Long wire antennas

[Charlie T]

That axiom was probably true back when the only operation was on low
frequency bands where a full sized ½λ antenna was quite impractical.

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,
