These work great.  When I worked in Seattle, my boss, N6NR, put up 
two of them at right angles to each other.  They were cut for 
20m.  He wrote an article in QST for March 1993, page 22: "The NRY, A 
Simple, Effective Wire Antenna for 80 through 10 Meters" by Rick 
Olsen, N6NR.  It's online at the ARRL web site for members.
