I use aluminum fence wire - 17 gauge - it is cheap and light and you can
tension it with two fingers. It runs nicely with a pole every 100 feet. and
it works..  My reversibles use 4 inch spacing...  A 450-600 ohm transformer
seems to about right...

I have not tried using 2 spaced wires as a single wire... It will work, but
there may be subtle problems... I am not in favor of giving Murphy an
unecessary opening for mischief...
