[BC] Long wire antenna

[Tom]

Just ran the 20-wavelength longwire antenna at 640 kHz... With the 
antenna ONE wavelength above ground, and end-fed, using approximately #6 
wire (quarter-inch diameter)...

Pretty pictures!

Comes out to 591 -j29519 ohms, roughly - So, adding a loading coil, and 
a pretty good match for 600 ohm open wire line.  If anyone would like to 
see the pattern, email me direct and I'll attach it to the reply...
