i have 25ac of land,, 1.5ac i mow, the rest is woods.
i am up on a mountain next to moncove lake state park.

length of driveway is 1900' which is not flat, nothing much here unless your lucky is somewhat flat.

this is why i was considering extending the wire at my chimney to the left an addtional 500' with a terminating resistor there to a gnd rod.

i have a much much lighter wire that came with an invisible fence system for keeping dogs home, along with shock collars.
i have 3000' of this insulated wire made for direct burial, yet i am wondering about just laying it on the ground now....
this will start this coming weekend,

the problem is that its moot, all info you all have provided says i should have multiple beverages , the one link used the phrase "broadside" beverage antennas, and i dont know what he means by broadside,,, is it meaning parallel?

i am seeing that a star patern may be better and even a grand total of 6) making each bi directional.,, something called the 160M dream?

Im in way over my head though. i will at the least start off with two of these.
i am thinking one is placed perpendicular to the other, then i need to understand how to make each bi directional.

i am 2400ft above sea level.

I know it might look good but i have often been wondering if placing that horizontal run over top my house is good or bad.
one day someone told me my antenna on my car is assisted in picking up station by which way my car is pointed, meaning my windshield helped refect the signal. same with my metal roof but, i could be helping unwanted interference get on that same wire.
