[TowerTalk] FW: low band antenna without good ground

[Kevin Normoyle]

I notice that the people doing underground electric fencing seem to favor 
polyethylene insulation, with galvanized..they seem to agree that you need more 
than the galvanized for protection. I don't think they do just bare galvanized 
underground. (corrosion? they seem to worry about abrasion damage too (rocks etc))

It doesn't really matter for the rf ground wire if the wire makes contact with 
the ground right?

Kencove has 1000' feet of 12.5 gauge galvanized wire insulated with poly double 
wall (.34" outside diameter total) for $180
it's made for underground electric fences (gate crossings, etc)

I think I read the fence people expect 15-20 years?
