I have an electric fencer I would be glad to give you if I could find
it. It has had a weed chopper on it for 20 plus years now and
truthfully I cannot figure out where the d...n thing is as all of our
area is urbanized now.

Hi.
It makes me wish that I had 140 ft to put one in, but it was tough to
find the 102 ft. for a G5RV. I sure wish I could get away from the city
and get back to some place where a couple houndred feet of antenna
wasn't out of the question and you don't start out with an S9 noise
floor.
