That’s pretty funny Ed
I recently replaced one section of my longwire when the ice destroyed one of my trees. Right now I go out 35’ from the house to the first tree to a hook and insulator. I have a second hook and insulator that starts a second run going east and west. Both are tie together forming one antenna.
It works well and I’m able eliminate most of my neighbors LED dimmed light interference. Any radio inside the house becomes almost unusable on parts of the band, so a good antenna is a must.
I use a run of a foil shielded coax to bring it in to a switch on my bench. I can route it to my Philco upstairs or to my bench. I plan on making a better switch and creating a third run to my radio display room.
