Topband: Horizontal fence wires around vertical array

[Wesley Cosand <wes.cosand@verizon.net>]

The white tail deer here in Eastern Pennsylvania are eating my wife's 
landscaping and she wants to install an electric high tensile wire fence 
around the property.  That means horizontal wires only 1/4 wavelength away 
from my new pride and joy, a 4 square array on 80 meters.

I am assuming the radio astronomers at Green Bank are right 
http://www.gb.nrao.edu/IPG/Fence.shtml  and that a properly installed fence 
doesn't create RF.

Will the horizontal wires attenuate the signals into the vertical array?

Will they change the impedance of the nearest elements so much as to 
significantly perturb the array's pattern?

Wes, WZ7I
