Hey Steve, how tall are your supports off the ground?

That pic was taken in 2001 when I first installed the system here, and
the
shot
is from the end of the 100' W-E wire, looking west. That wire has now
been
extended another 100'. I need to take another pic which I'll do this
Fall.

How much lead-in coax you using? My backyard is quite similar to yours. I
was going to put my wire on the neighbors chainlink fence which runs the
length of the yard, but the posts may work better.

At the risk of sounding -really- stupid, I just have to ask this. I've read
about using your window screen for an antenna; what about hooking directly
up to the chain link fence itself? Would it work? It's grounded, so maybe
not. I don't know, so I'm asking!
