HI All

Is there a lot of difference between a vertical long wire antenna and a regular vertical GP?

Last year when camping I used a 65 foot piece of wire up into a tree, hooked directly to the output of my tuner. I had one long counterpoise and the tuner connected to a ground that I drove INTO the ground.. It seemed to work pretty well on all the bands.

Not having any modeling software here, what I was interested in is if the vertical LW works different than a vertical GP.

Weather's getting nice and getting the itch to get in the camper and do some camping! 73
