I knew that when I got eye on this project.
Just it's more severe than I imagined from reading in.
Maybe it's because we have the M700 clock it's heavy duty stuff 10KV Jurassic park style used in wild parks and other serious animal stuff.
E antenna here is no go for at least 2000 meters
I made the whole fence stuff here,there is no way to drop interference because the short burst makes the thing save.
Dropping voltage makes it harder to jump from wire thorough the fur to the animal.
If the installation here drops below 8000V we are late mowing grass.

It sounds like your fence should be generating strike counts all by itself.

It does.
I am going to test it in the back but I am still waiting for the waterproof housings I ordered.
And the distance is also to far for w-lan adding costs and more power consumption for the solar panel that is needed because there is no electricity out there.
I have two more locations... if this doesn't work I can browse another few miles for a peaceful electric blind spot Smile

I want one of those concrete windmills! Just a few KM away from here the Germans have build huge fans! The generator is about 150m high! Must be stunning reception Big Grin

Do you go from the pre-amp (outside) with a long coax cable to the big print inside the house?
I think that I need 25 meters of coax.

No problem with 25 meters of coax Wink

I Can only find a cable with 10m can I use a connector below to extend the cable?

Should work ok. Don't forget to weatherproof it! However Coax can be ordered in longer lengths.
Mine came from here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003FW0X6Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
