You may want to add an antenna tuner to the long wire ,I fully understand that this is a RECEIVE
ONLY application. The tuner will help even when just receiving!
Here's a source

a quick question...newbie to HF so please be gentle.

a 25 mtr wire to go into a 12 ( ish ) mtr garden. Is it possible to double the wire back on itself so it extends out 12 & half
mtrs then loops round and back up 12 & half mtrs ?

just been told this is perfectly acceptable ( it's the wire length that's important rather than how it's installed ) but i seem
think i've been told this is a no no.

would the above installation effect performance ?

looking forward to advice
