Hi All,
Although I live on a large block with a couple of generous sheds, there are no big trees closer than 40 or 50 metres from the shed. To complicate things that 40 or 50 metres also crosses the compacted earth driveway to the sheds (i.e. no chance of digging a trench).
Behind the shed, is a boundary fence and in between is a row of four or five metre tall Callistemons (aka Bottle Brushes).
I was toying with hanging a 40m EFHW in the Callistemons.
Is contact between the wire and the foliage an issue?
Same question for an OCF or dipole.
Cheers
