I know what that antenna is. I've seen it in the Agway store. It's a
type of electric fence wire. There are fine steel wires woven into the
ribbon, giving a highly visible fence that will also zap your cow.
Clever idea. Though steel wire isn't as good as copper, if the strands
are in parallel it should reduce the resistance somewhat.
