Re: [IRCA] BOG wire

[Charles A & Leonor L Taylor <calltaylor@xxxxxxx>]

Dennis,

You're missing the point, at least partially. If the fence is metallic and 
has no gaps/breaks in its length, then it's going to dominate the wire run 
parallel to it. In that case, connect to the fence.

If the fence is wire on wood posts, it probably has gaps at property lines 
and a wire run parallel to it is going to couple to each section for 
heaven's knows what kind of pattern.

You can bridge gaps between segments of a non-continuous fence (doing it at 
night...otherwise everyone is going to be out there wondering what you're 
up to) and then the fence will be continuous. See what I mean?

Now if I were you and I could roll out the wire quickly, I guess I'd try it 
anyway keeping in mind all the above. And see what happens.

And I sure want to know what happens.

I've got a woods on one of our property line and I ran a 700-foot wire thru 
the woods. Boy, oh boy. That thing really was directional!
I can run a wire diagonally thru' the woods (nevermind what the heck 
"diagonally thru the woods" MEANS). More than 1,000 feet. I
cannot easily do it myself, but I can bribe my grandson to do it. In fact, 
I'm already getting excited about the idea.

In any case, Ski, let us know what happens.
