Dear Mike Michon, AB5XP,
If you have a 100 ohm antenna, then feed it with a 100 ohm balanced line.
How?
Easy. Take two paralel EQUAL LENGTH coax 50-ohm lines. Connect the two
centers
to the balanced outputs on your tuner and the 2 shields to ground. At the
antenna end,
take the 2 shields and tie them together and to the ground rod. Tie one
coax center
to the ground radial system and the other to the vertical. I used the
double coax idea
some years back on an 80-meter doublet and found that it was MUCH quieter
then
open wire or ladder line on RX.
Hope this helps.
