    I did a Google search for "electric fence tape." Looks like interesting stuff for antenna construction all right. I do wonder if the strands being so close together might cause problems with interactions if you're thinking of tuning each one separately to a different band as in a fan dipole but WTF, the only way you'll know for sure it to try it out.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    I saw it at "Tractor Supply" where all us productive rednecks hang out. A 900 ft roll for about 70 dollars. I thought hmmm, check with you all to see if its been done!
