Hi Tom It does not seem to matter at all. You can parallel them at the feed,
at the end or have them as a meander wire. The increase in capacity seems to
be the same Though 50cm spacing is a little close and you will not get full
advantage at so close a spacing. The recommended was given as 70cms to 1m
spacing. Each extra metre should give you an extra 5 to 6pF of capacitance.

Subject: LF: 3 Topwires ??
Hello LF OM's,
one question, I have bild up 3 parallel topwires 14m high and 20m long.
They have a spacing of 50cm.
At the moment the three ends are insulate.
Is it better to short the three ends, or better to insulate the ends??
