Gene-
I expect it could be made to work, but the efficiency might be low. My major concern, however, is the safety of such a setup. Can there be any opportunity for children, pets or the XYL to touch or even get near the wire?

I know this is not a tower question, but I have to ask.
I have a pretty good sized back yard with a wooden fence all the way around it. I would like to put a wire around the top of the fence and make a horizontal loop for 160, possibly 80, etc. The fence is about 50 foot long south on both sides and 100 foot along the back side. I could bring the ends in to the middle of the house and feed with a feeder to the tuner. Will this work for me at all or is this a waste of time, wire, energy etc.?


Thanks in advance.
