- The tuning adjustment at the matching device will be more cricical, since you will be running over a full wavelength of tuned feedline. A given change in frequency will move the current /voltage poi

- Just as NTIA threw a spoke in the wheel with the amateur 60m. band, they apparently have serious misgivings regarding BPL, although their concern seems to be focused primarily on the 30-50 mHz range.

- I've found the best way to deal with that problem is to use #8 copperweld wire and HEAVY DUTY insulators. Pullys and springs inevitably get tangled up, broken, etc. Just use something strong enough
