In Victor Misek's book he shows a shortened wire antenna. It was done by setting it out in a zigzag fashion. The wire length was pretty long, but it didn't take as much real estate. If the BOG were run in a zigzag fashion across the field, I wonder if it would approximate a longer antenna? Another way might be to use cotton clothesline rope. Then just loop the wire up so some sagged down. Probably could get a thousand feet of wire in a couple hundred feet or so of land. Loaded antennas are common in verticals, so maybe the same sort of thing could work in a horizontal wire.
