[TowerTalk] Wire Size for 800 meter longwire

[K4SAV]

Thanks for the suggestion, but I couldn't find that article.  It wasn't 
listed in the QST index search, which covers Ham Radio, QST, and QEX.  
Maybe some other magazine. 

The ARRL Antenna Book 20th edition has a pretty good description of long 
wire antennas, but not any experimental data, and most of the analysis 
is for antennas at 1 wavelength height.  The long wire under 
consideration here has a height which varies from approx. 0.14 to 0.04 
wavelengths at 160 meters.  That makes a big difference in performance.
