A few years ago, while teaching antenna theory at a local technical 
college, I got the bright idea to run out about 100 feet of wire 10 feet of 
the ground and end fed thru a tuner. Connected 10 meter transmitter to it 
and sent a carrier.  Would walk the length of the wire with flouresence 
touching the wire. you could see the sine wave of the radiated signal very 
clearly.  By this will shoot down the idea that long wires are just top 
hats for the vertical part of the wire
