I have a wire, about 250' long, 20' high, running around three sides of
my back yard (55' x 125' suburban lot). My shack is in the basement; I
have replaced the glass in one window with Plexiglass(TM), and run wire
and coax through the plastic (either coax feed-thru or simply a 6-32 or
8-32 screw for wires. I feed my wire with a tuner, using coax, up to a
4:1 coax balun at the window. One arm goes to the wire antenna, the
other to a good electrical ground in the basement. I can tune all bands
160-6 meters with this setup.
