So far I have received many responses telling me that a short beverage... 250 to 350 feet... is in fact worth the effort. Digging around in the junk box has turned up a K9AY 9:1 transformer from my first K9AY loop effort, along with two parallel resistors that measure out to 500 ohms, also from the same project. They were out there for a few years without lightning damage, so I guess they are usable. I still have to dig around the shed, I think there is a partial roll of wire in there that might do, and I have to go get some electric fence posts that are made to drive into the ground, and some pvc pipe to slip over them.
I am going to get some RG-6 to feed it, though the transformer I have uses pl-259 connectors. There's an adapter for that somewhere I remember buying... I'll report more as there is more progress. Possible it may go up (along?) this weekend. Thanks for all the advice! -- de WS1L =================== Chuck Chandler [email protected] =================== _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw? BK
