wire antenna
Metal broadcast receiver
A wire antenna is an antenna made from one or more lengths of wire, used to transmit or receive radio signals.
Wire antennas are among the simplest and oldest antenna designs, ranging from a basic dipole to more elaborate configurations like long wires or loops.
They remain popular with amateur radio operators for their low cost and ease of construction: He strung a wire antenna between two trees.
