    Ontario NVIS Event - Fence Antenna

    Made some good contacts in the 2017 Ontario NVIS event using a fence as an antenna. While I did try 80m, I didn't ever hear anyone on - the clips are from 40m and 20m. I also tested the propagation by using FT8 digital mode, and made several contacts on 40m.

    I connected to the fence using two alligator clips from the coax, one clipping to the fence and the other clipping to two 33ft radials which ran perpendicular to the fence.

    Radio is Yaseu FT817ND, the tuner is MFJ-971 and the amp is a MX-P50N.
