Sheep Fence = Cheap Antenna?

Is sheep fence wire a good alternative to normal antenna wires? Or will it at least work in a pinch? In this video I'm trying it out.

Thanks for video. Beautiful area. Lucky you!
Thanks for watching! I love operating around there, it has a really nice variation in scenery
Wow!!
I love hiking in that area
Small remark: you sometimes swapped Sent / Received when entering the reports in your log app.
Very beautiful 💯😍👍
Yes, lovely area to hike in 😊
Fantastisk! Tusen takk. 73s fra F4HZN
Merci 😊
Fantastic work!!! TNX for sharing !
Thanks for watching!
Hi Buddy. I'm here again. Thank for sharing the april event! 😂
I've been a bit lazy making videos lately 😉 Hope you're doing well!
@LB4FH Thank, I'm ok. I'm glad that you're alright!
nice components thinks all them find new ham owners...73
Wow!
Interesting to see what you got, and how much it was.. VE1SK
Thanks for watching
Wow! You got some great deals. DE WA1KLI
I think you made out like a bandit. Well done.
Yeah, happy this time 😉
I think the XYL is most grateful I wasn’t at that sale! Excellent finds Kjetil! 🎉
You should bring her once 😁
She’s not to fond of ham radio. I suggested we stop by Hyde Park for a quick POTA activation, but for completely un-understandable reasons, the suggestion was rejected 🤷♂️🤣
That's unacceptable 😁
Lots of material for new videos! Thanks for sharing - best 73, Juergen
Yeah, or at least for transformers for the rest of my life 😁
I enjoy your videos, and this one was especially informative and interesting! I look forward to watching this program develop.
Thank you, glad you enjoy them 😊 There's been a lot of growth here, so hopefully we'll see some good growth going forward
Very nice place. Fantastic statues.. LA6NCA
Yes, really nice that places like these are remembered in such a way
So much fun, always been interested in bunkers. So I have to test this out. LA6NCA
Yeah it's fun. You should find a few references already added near you 😉 If you know of more, feel free to send me a message so I can add them to the system
May I suggest the song Dra Til Skogs as perfect background music? DE WA1KLI
💯😍👍
We had to deal with the British Invasion in the mid-1960s.😉
I thought that was a decade or two earlier 😁
Great award scheme, really great to see the community growing! Great video
Yeah, it's fun, looking forward to seeing it evolve. Thanks for watching!
Pleasure to work you from the very first Norwegian BOTA 😊 M0DXT BILL ( UKBOTA)👍
Great to work you too👍👍
That's a great story, beautiful location and nicely filmed.
Thanks!
Looking forward to the full length video.
Great video, I hope you are able to do more like this in the future. Thank you.
Thanks. I do film them when I come across them
A special place used by brave Norwegian people, thank you for your video.
Thanks for watching
Nice intro as always, thanks for sharing a bit of history!
Thank you 😊
Very cool. Thanks for showing it.
Thanks for watching. Always amazing to visit places like this out in the field
Congratulations. Most of the sounds are very familier to me 😊
thanks 😉
Congratulations and thx for your activation.
Thanks!
I love the term “SPOTA” 😊 Such a beautiful place over there.
Yeah, some smart person made that up 😉 This area is a really stunning place to activate both SOTA, POTA and WWFF if you want that. Well worth a visit if you ever stop by
@@LB4FH someday I’ll make it over there for some hiking 🙏🏻 😊
Beautiful SPOTA. Crazy Hat, gloves and jacket in July. Send that cool Norway WX to my QTH 🙂
Thanks 😉 We're getting more of that cold now, plenty for you to come over and borrow.
Looks a bit brisk on the summit! Thanks 73
It was 😉 Thanks for watching, 73!
Looks like a lovely place to escape the summer heat.
Absolutely, that's why I was there and not down at a beach 😁
Can you get the weather reports for the summits? Cause I would have never thought of taking a winter coat in the middle of July. lol Beautiful scenery VE1SK
Yeah, you can, and WX forecast for that weekend was exactly as expected. I hiked in the same area the week before and had heat issues at 25 C
Filmed on July 24th 2028. Back to the future :D Thx fer nice video Kjetil
Ooops 😁 I wasn't supposed to let you know about that time machine
Great views!
It's a lovely place to operate from
I work the world with a 20m delta loop and pskreporter shows I'm heard from both directions on the opposite side of the globe. That is just the furthest distance on the globe from my location, not necessarily the route my signal took. I use a vertical delta loop bottom fed which is 50 Ohms. It throws a very low takeoff angle when the loop is 1 wavelengh high(bottom of loop). That means my antenna has to be nearly 90ft to the top and about 60ft at the bottom. Use 2 of them rotated 1/4 turn and use an antenna switch for a poor mans rotator. Also, they have a very low noise floor.
Would be great to be able to have one of these up permanently (properly made of course), seems like some amazing antennas to have. Thanks for watching!
That's great test.
Thank you 😀
Great to get an insight in your part of the QSO. I really appreciate being your first CW contact. Keep it up! Best 73 and 44 :)
Thanks, and thanks again for your patience 🙂
Strong work 💪
Thank you 😁
Awesome! Well done, my friend!
Thanks. Still a long way to go
Well done, sir.
Thanks!
Welcome to the sect.
Thanks. Maybe we can even get a qso once 😉
my only concern about the swr curves being that GOOD/flat is that it might be partially due to the very thin wire's resistance. It would be interesting to see what the DC resistance is for 30m of this wire before being made into the antenna (the skin effect HF resistance will obviously be higher than this but it is still useful to see). I'm certainly NOT saying that it isn't a useful antenna. I also think mag-loops are great & similarly they are not the highest efficiency but still very useful/usable. The TTFD has a wavelength of low resistance wire in it AND has a big resistor explicitly added and people like it so resistance in antennas isn't always a showstopper. Personally I use the single strand 2mm solid aluminium electric fence wire for antennas but it is a sod for kinking so your woven stuff looks like it might be better for portable deployment.
Yeah, this is mostly for a "when you need it" antenna, it's nothing I'd have up permanently. Fun to experiment though, and thanks for the idea of what to test if I make another one of these some times. Thanks for watching, 73!
I'd liked the Lake shore! Good place for anything!
Thanks, it's my family's cabin. Nice place to operate from
Love it... First time you have popped up in my feed. i enjoy all the experimenting and fiddling about too. I love recycling bits and bobs into antenna service. I think for an emergency it would be great but it really won't last long. It is only useful as electric fence because the 1500v jumps all the breaks in the 3 pathetic conductors then starts radiating the annoying click click clicks you can hear on your radios. Keep up the experiments.. M7HSG
Thanks for watching, and glad you liked it. It's fun to see what works and doesn't when it comes to antennas. 73!
Cool project beautiful property!
Thanks 🙂
Thanks for the video. I have quite a lot of the twine size and 25 mm Fencing tape plus lots of different types of insulators and yor video has made me want to experiment. As many Electric Fence runs can easily be .5 kilometer or more and its all insulated its a perfect opportunity to try. From VK5KOV Downunder.
That seems like a good start 😁 Hope you get to do some nice QSO's on it
Fun idea! I've just redone a bunch of horse fence here with larger woven wire. I've got tons left over so I'll have to give this a try!
That sounds like a good opportunity 👏🏻 I'd love to see how this works wet vs dry, I have a feeling rain is gonna affect this sort of cabling quite a lot
