>> The main  problem with bringing ladder line or any open wire line into the
>> shack lies with what I call the "hot shack" syndrome. With  more than one
>> 160 meter antenna the shack was full of hot RF and plenty of RF feedback. 
>>  This also gets into the telephones radios, and even TVs that are not on
>> cable.   Even using a tuner with a balun can cause a problem.

>balun....and it belongs on the OUTPUT side of the tuner...not the 
>input.

//   Please explain why to us, Mr. Rauch.  . 

thanks
