I think it depends on how good the matching is. My wet string here is a  
doublet, around 90 feet long, in inverted V configuration including a few bends  
to make it fit the garden. The top is at about 30 feet up a tree  and it is fed 
with 450 ohm ribbon. I match it with an MFJ auto-tuner.  Nothing is perfect 
but it is able to cope reasonably with all the HF bands.  I've worked W/VE on 
160 with it and all 12 GB5HQ slots last weekend.
