HI All

I've seen that you should keep the 450 ohm twinlead at leas the width of the cable away from anything metallic. Does that include coax cable?

YES! And although I haven't seen any math to support it, I'd want wider spacing than that.

I want to run some twinlead out to an antenna and where it would come into the shack is a coax cable and it would be laying right on top of it.

Just wonder it that would cause any problems.

Yes, it could cause problems.
