Plus the fact, the longer the wire, the more the radiation pattern
approaches the wire axis. Thus one will gain some along the axis
direction and loose in other directions. There is no free lunch.
"long" here means >a few wavelengths.

Not sure I believe this, lets say a 40 meter dipole, and an 80 meter
dipole-- the 40 dipole works far better on 40, than the 80 meter works on
40, so not always is more wire better.
Now if you are talking long wire, and forgot to state that, I am not sure,
I'd have to get the modeling software out...
73s and thanks,

COSMIC rule of antennas! The more wire the better. Always.
