I like 600 ohms . Losses go up faster when vegetation comes in contact with
wires if the impedance goes much higher. I try to keep the wires clear even
at 600 ohms.

I wonder if I might prevail upon any & all with some first-hand real-world
experience as to the "criticalness" (if any) between the two wires running
the length & span of a 2-wire bi-directional Beverage...?
Just how important is a continuos pre-set distance between the wires,
anyway...? And who was it that came up with the necessity of equally-spaced
wire...? And how did they determine the "optimum" distance the wires...?
