i would also expect it to be rather poor for transmitting though it might
make a decent low band receiving antenna similar to a Beverage or wave
antenna. its one of those situations where i would recommend that you 'plug
it in and try it', you might be surprised at how well it works, or you might
have trouble getting around the block.

My yard is adjacent to a large park. The park's border with yards
like mine consists of a chain link fence that's in excess of one
thousand feet in length. The vegetation is such that I could run a
long wire about a foot over the top of the fence for a large part of
that thousand feet. Would the chain link fence cause negative
interactions? Would this be a receive-only antenna and not any good
for transmitting? I'd connect it to the random wire lug on my MFJ
Versa Tuner II to match it to my Kenwood tube rig.

Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions?

Jack.
(I'm going to try it regardless for receiving, but what should I expect?)
