LowFERs,
Re: Using Chicken Wire As Additional Ground Plane For LF

The place where I work is unloading some bundled chicken wire. [No, I'm
not into chicken raising.] Not missing a thought for a cheep temporary
ground system [It's fall, done mowing.], I'm thinking of showing it the
way home.

But how is a good connection made to that stuff? It's galvo'd no. 18
and all strands are held together by twisting. That doesn't seem a good
ground path. Any ideas?

One thought is to solder some house wire across a few of the lengthwise
wires. But then maybe the rest of the wire will create noise due its
"just touching" contact arrangement. I'm not sure.
