I want to run a few long/random wires for receive only. My property footprint is small and I have to get creative.
One wire will rise 40 feet vertically then slope down to a corner of the property, perhaps another 40-50 feet.
The other wire I am thinking of running along my cinder block side and back walls.
The wall is approximately 6 feet, 10 feet, then 8 feet (yes, different sizes) around the perimeter of the back yard. I could get about 60 feet of wire out on the wall.
I have seen people running their wires along wooden fences and I would like feedback on running along the cinder block wall.
Must I elevate it above the wall or will 'close to the top' suffice? Would it even be worthwhile to run it along the wall?
Does elevation come into play with a long/random wire?
I am also wondering about the vertical, how I may improve receive efficiency. Any ideas?
