Hope this comes through a little bet better. 

It's been a long long time sense I put up any antennas but we just bought a new house with a long narrow lot about 2200 square meters. The house is near one end and the other end is filled with trees. I was thinking about a long wire And was wondering if there is an optimal length. Mostly interested in good DX bands like 20m But 10-40 would be preferred.  Would be interested To here any antenna ideas. Was also thinking about Junior's loop but didn't know How critical it is to have it perfectly square.
