The old, traditional, type of radio antenna consisting of copper wires stretched parallel between two fairly high towers. With this type of antenna a large part of the radio signal flows directly upward and is lost in space which results in a greatly weakened signal strength. This antenna was used for the 50,000 watt WLW prior to the increase to 500,000-watts.
