[SMCARA] Counterpoise Question

[Clarke, Tom AIR4.0P NATOPS]

Bill,

I am sure it would work fine.  Give it a try!  Conventional wisdom calls for multiple radial, etc, but this  might work well!
Nothing ventured, nothing gained!

Subject: [SMCARA] Counterpoise Question

Was reading thru some Web entries about counterpoises (tacked to grass, buried, etc) and one person asked the question about the invisible fence. I was wondering if anybody had ever used one for their counterpoise? I do not use mine anymore and I have it looped around my back yard and part of the front yard. I know its broken at one spot so would not be a complete loop but should not matter if my thinking is right and you are just laying out a number of runs like a radials for a Vertical Antenna. Any thoughts and would the fence be enough of a counterpoise to use? I am figuring around a
350 feet in a loop. But broken in one spot for sure so say 2 125 foot counterpoises? Thanks!
