(Harold H. Beverage.) A nonresonant, directional long-wire antenna, erected a few feet above ground and run in a straight line for one to several wavelengths. It is generally used for reception at low and medium frequencies, the best response is to vertically polarized signals arriving from one or both directions in line with the wire. It can be left unterminated for bidirectional response, or it can be terminated at its far end by a noninductive resistor of about 600 ohms for a unidirectional response.
