[GCARC] I like EFHW Wire Antennas

[Christopher Prioli AD2CS]

If the wire simply broke in the middle, it can be spliced back together.
It may then need some adjustment for proper tuning, depending upon how much
the overall length has changed.  In all probability, however, the actual
length is probably longer than when the antenna was hung due to stretching
of the wire, so it may actually require some decrease in length to bring it
into tune again.
