My thanks to all who replied to my question about beverages and fences.
Several folks suggested putting the wires above the fence and in the fence.
Let me clear up a few points. The fences in question are not mine. If I had
a 600 foot run of fence, I wouldn't have the problem. Also, these wires
are in addition to loops, EWE's, and dipoles.
The wire I will run is #26 PVC jacket stranded and the jacket is the same
color as the dirt. I hope it's good camoflage. The wire's will have to run
more or less parallel to several neighbors fences, behind their properties,
on a narrow stip of public access ground. The aerial photo of my QTH that I
have on my web site shows a canal along one corner of the property. The
space between the fence line and the graded road on the canal bank is where
I hope to place the wire.
"Gain" is not a problem as I have good, low noise figure, high intercept
point preamps to take care of low signal levels.
I think I have enough info now to make a good fist pass at the
installation, hopefully it will also be the last pass. However any further
comments would still be appreciated.
Thanks & 73,
