E9C04E9C

What happens to the radiation pattern of an unterminated long wire antenna as the wire length is increased?

Direct answer summary (2024-2028 NCVEC pool)

The official correct answer for E9C04 is Additional lobes form with major lobes increasingly aligned with the axis of the antenna.

The key fact is Additional lobes form with major lobes increasingly aligned with the axis of the antenna. Match that fact to the exact condition in the question; the other choices describe a different rule, band, component, or operating situation.
