Jeff, I live on what was once a pasture with barbed wire fencing about
90' diagonally from one corner of the 4-square. I didn't worry about
the fence when I first installed the array and it seemed to work OK.
When I was having what turned out to be a hardware problem, I cut the
barbed wire for about an 100' length just to make sure it wasn't
contributing to my problem. As best I could tell, there was no effect
on receive performance either way.

I am considering installing one of these hi-z or DXE buffered-type receiving 4-square arrays for
160/80. The best place on the property is on the north west corner - in a location about
400’ from the transmit vertical. It’s got a clear shot NE to EU and is about
600’ from the nearest house.
However, that NW property corner location has old barbed wire fences that runs
along the property line in the corner.
I am curious if anyone has experience with this kind of array near barbed wire
fencing.
Thanks!
