- Al, I expect that what you propose would work, but suggest that it would work even better wit a wire at least a quarter wavelength or longer at the lowest frequency, and longer will work even better.

- If you use the coax as coax, all the fields are within the coax so relative spacing between them doesn't matter. I tied the shields together on both ends of the run so the signal will divide properly
