Jeff - the southern periphery of my 8 circle vertical array (W8JI broad
side/end fire passive version) is 75 feet from a barb wire fence that runs
a quarter mile east and west. While one might claim some theoretical
interaction I have not documented any or identified any performance
degradation as a result.
I see Big Gun Mike, W5UC, has a lot of experience with RX arrays close to
fences has responded as well.
GL with the array.
