My experience with a 600' regular Bev 6' over a 5 wire barb wire fence
was not good. Modeling also showed it had little directivity. A
solution in the modeling was to insulate all wires every 150',
segmenting it into 4 x 150' fences. Wires beyond the Bev ends could be
continuous any length. Modeled but never built, since I sold the
ranch. I suspect a BOG would be at least as sensitive to adjacent
conductors. Perhaps 75' segments would work as a SWAG.
Some rodents seem to enjoy nibbling on various coaxs. It depends.
Another choice than PVC is 1" flexible well pipe, available in long rolls.

Plan to install two RBOGs shortly. The E/W RBOG path would most
conveniently place half the length adjacent to a two foot tall wire mesh
fence we have to keep geese off the property. What is the likelihood that
the fence could adversely impact RBOG performance, resonance etc? I have an
alternate location in the grass away from fence but it will put a 45 degree
bend at RBOG mid-point.
The other question is the susceptibility of the quad shielded RG6 coax cable
running on the ground to the shack - do rodents etc like to feed on coax?
Buried PVC would be long run.
Thanks
