Not sure if this is a recommended method but the galvanised steel fence along this hedge has a barbed wire top which is isolated (apart from supports) from the fence. It is approx 900' in length. It works well toward the east to VK and fairly well to JA as a Beverage on 80 / 160m. The far end of this wire is terminated with a 450 ohm resistor and at the feed end a 9:1 transformer. The coax is UR213U and runs for 80 - 100m on the ground to the shack. The power line in the shot does not seem to give any noise problems.

This is a 300 foot parallel barbed wire fence both wires of which I use as a Beverage toward the south west to South America.
