Hi Derek,
The term "longwire" generally refers to an unterminated wire antenna
running in two directions, with a bi-directional response. That's
what my longwires are. I'm blessed with a rural location with room
to string a 1600 foot E/W longwire and a 400 foot N/S longwire. The
E/W runs east; the N/S runs south. Both use matching transformers
and ground rods at the transformers, and coax cable run to the radio
room.
I primarily DX LF beacons (NDBs) but like to try for some of the TP
(and TA) medium wave signals that occasionally make it inland here.
73,

Happy 4th of July to the US folks. Today had some DU reception
along with usual (of late) Tahiti, with a little better overall
levels this morning.
738 Tahiti with poor French talk early, 1134 utc, on a first check
before doing the NDB check. Later 648 very poor, unknown language
1205; 891 with DU talk poor 1206; 1116 with DU talk poor/weak
1207; 1107 woman talking in EE poor, unknown who that would be
1209. Back to 738 Tahiti peaking at occasional weak/medium 1214
eventually fading away around 1225 utc.
180 and 279 Radio Rossii poor at 1133 utc.
