George, G3VOT, has been using very long antennas for years. I believe 
one was 1km long! He has a farm in the Peak District and uses his 
boundary fences:-) He can lengthen or short the beverages by judicious 
use of the gates!  You'll find him at the top end of 80m at times and I 
believe he's also worked ZL on 160m SSB with these long, long wires.
