Topband: rest wire from beverages still on the cabel reel......

 Hi all...
Wondering if annyone ever had same problem and knows if it works ore not
I have several Fileds from differend farmers in use...ometimes i can set 300m 
beverage..sometimes i must short them for few weeks to 200 ore less..
Will it work if i keep the rest wire...maybe 50 to 100mon the cabel reel 
and set the resistor on the end in the time when farmers needs the fields ore 
will this not work?
Annyone may tryed?Wire is isolated wire,,,
Anny Info vy welcome

Frank,
he coil of wire on the end will add an inductance...  and terminating to a
resistor at the other end probably wont make a difference.  Basically you
now have an unterminated beverage. It will be bi-directional and the
receiving angle will be higher.

Maybe instead you can strip some insulation off of the wire and ground
(with resistor) before the coil?  I think I would short the coil just to be
safe so leave the end exposed on the reel as you wind up.  Or just cut the
antenna short and splice repair later.
