That sounds familiar.
I took an antenna theory class when I was with Third Herd at Tinker. Seemed we always used a 500 foot long wire and were trying to find some other alternatives to use.
We did just about any HF antenna you could think of; long wire, sloping V, you name it.
Figured out the 500 foot long wire was the best.
It was good training, tho.
One thing we always made sure we had plenty of was "bug nuts". Seemed like we were always needing them.
And Ardmore, OK was an RF black hole. We'd get great comms during the day, but at night it was a bear trying to keep the link up and running.
