Horizontal long wire MW aerial.

[Crackle]

Going back to my situation, what would be the effect of dangling a vertical drop from the end of the horizontal about a foot out, say, from the wall before the wire passed through the window frame? The bottom end would need to be tied down to prevent it waving about, I imagine, as it would have been if the connection to the receiver was at the bottom in a conventional set-up.

What is the opinion on this idea.
I have the same situation with my radio workshop room in an upstairs bedroom and a wire going out through an air brick to a tree 10m up the garden terminated with a piece of strimmer nylon line.
Should I add a drop down the side of the house and keep the connection to the radio at the corner of the horizontal and vertical parts?
