Topband: BOG constructed from uninsulated electric fence wire

[FritzOAQ]

Has anyone ever actually tried this? If so & it works, does it only work
when it's not raining?

If I wanted to construct this antenna & compare it with one made from
insulated wire, can the two antennas run parallel to each other and if so
how far apart shud they be? If not, then how shud they be constructed for
comparison?

Tks,
