[TowerTalk] Beverage Antenna

PVC pipe is a good method.  I pound fiberglass posts into the ground and
attach the wire using plastic electric fence clamps from a farm store.

This PVC pipe over T posts sounds like a workable solution. It will elevate
the wire sufficiently that I can drive a tractor under it. An alternative is
to elevate the Beverage wire 6-8 ft above a wire fence, would the fence
degrade the Beverage performance significantly? It would be very convenient
to be able to have the Beverage wire run along the fence.
