Are you planning on using it as a loop? I made a loop for field day
back in June with the FC-40 and it was 540 foot long. I had a blast
with it, I "snuck" off the band I was working, 160 meter, and
listened and tuned several bands and had a blast. I attached ladder
line from the tuner to the wire for the loop also,,,,LET US KNOW HOW
IT WORKS!!!

Good morning,
I am going off to visit my parents in Alberta next month and
thinking of bringing my FT-857 and FC-40 with me. I am planning
on
using one of the electric fences as an antenna. (The fence is
not
energized, since no cattle are using this field) The fence is
approximately 300 m (1000 ft+) approximately 60 cm (2 ft) off
the
ground and terminated to the ground at the far end. My question
is
if
this would be a viable antenna system? Is there anything I
should
look
out for?
