Sorry, Barry and all. I don't know what happened, but my first link didn't
work when I first tried it from within my BC post, and later on it
did/does. I won't use Filebeam again (that was the 1st time I did)

Feeding a horizontal long wire 150 m above the earth without radiation from
any vertical conductor(s) to the earth would be a neat trick, and the
antenna would have no useful v-pol in the horizontal plane. Not a very
good MW radiator.
But ignoring all that I modeled 100-wavelength long wire in NEC, fed at one
end by an embedded source (no vertical wires). It showed a large number of
lobes/nulls (>70); not pretty. I won't bother posting it.
