How well did it work?

Everything I've heard about super long wire antennas like that says they
work great, but in a *very* narrow beam.  I vaguely remember reading of one
of those, perhaps in Australia.  It was possible to hear a 1kw in Costa
Rica, but that's *all* it ever heard on that frequency - and it was a
regular.
