[TenTec] Electric horse fence

[mike bryce]

Its an interesting concept. I camp a bit and always stick some kind of antenna up. A hunk of black wire for a dipole is almost invisible. I've never had any trouble with park rangers or campers beside me simply because they couldn't  see the antenna.

They would surely see the horse fence antenna flapping in the breeze
