Longwire Antenna

This 54 m longwire (shown in yellow) was used between December 2022 and June 2024. 


 


This antenna was about 7 m high and provided good performance 40m and 160m.   The antenna was taken down on the 29th June 2024 because the walnut tree that supported the mid-point of the antenna needed to be felled because the base of the tree trunk was starting to rot.
