Hi All!

Silly question for the tech-savvies by whom I am overshadowed...

I am considering installing an invisible pet fence at my rural home. Will
this adversely affect my DX'ing?

I use a 100' wire and favor a Satellite 800 and a DX-394. The wire will
pass over the inground "fence" wire at about 18ft in height and will cross
it at roughly the mid-point. At present I have no complaint with
performance whatsoever.

Thanks in advance for any input!

This company says their system works on frequencies below 20khz.

From the answer to q5:

"...Our system works by radio carrier frequency -- either 7.5 kilohertz
or 10.8 kilohertz. We utilize 30-hertz modulation frequency..."

But it would certainly pay to ask the contractor you're planning to deal
with what frequency their system works on to make sure.
