[Lowfer] Fenceline longwire

Ah, J.B. certainly sets the pace for antenna experimenting and likely the only "pace" given
the prevailing, frozen conditions. Good to hear of these going-ons, J.B. Not many of us have
a clear run of 1,200 feet if city bound for such a getup. So your use of that farm land is an asset to all of us
when described as you do, esp. the comparative reports.

One thought, is the directivity of the 1,200-footer a factor? And does it always out perform, say, the mini whip, on other LowFER beacons?

Hello LFers & Lowfers,

I've been testing a 1200 foot end fed longwire mounted on
an existing fence-line and coupled to the receiver with a
3:1 turns ratio isolation transformer.
