[TenTec] Eagle/Hamfest Pics

[James Boswell]

Hello,

        That electric fence webbing is available is most ranch and farm stores. 
They make different colors and widths.

     Something to think about when you need something light weight, back-pack 
portable???

     Would be nice to use at field day, high visibility so people would not walk 
into the antenna.

      For a year or two I have been thinking of using the webbing, but 14 ga 
wire is cheaper.

I've seen them used before, but they're not a great stealth antenna simply 
because they (the wires) are made to be seen by horses.

The extra wind loading could prove interesting in engineering a way to keep the 
antenna up.
