I use open wire (the plastic windowed stuff) to feed a horizontal loop up about 40 feet on my tower. To keep the line from blowing all over in the wind I thread a 1/8 inch nylon rope through the wind

Paul, If you use nylon rope, it tends to hold water when it rains and has more of an effect on SWR. If you would just got to your local discount variety store and buy a spool of cheap nylon monofilam

Mention open wire feeders on this reflector and you'll get plenty of information. Seems like TenTec users tend to use the stuff for some reason. Perhaps TenTec users are likely to be more technically

My experience with open wire line only goes back to 1949 but it pretty well parallels N4LQ's. I don't want ladder line anywhere close to my shack, or my neighbors TV's and telephones. I don't know ho

I think that a technical discussion like the one we have been having is very interesting. Certainly there is much room for divergent opinions on the usefullness of item X vs item Y. Sarcasm, on the o

Hi everyone, I thought he was kind of funny...hi hi...of course the Ten Tec users crack sort of rubbed me the wrong way. Seriously, though, I think I can understand the point he was trying to make. H

If the feeders are truly balanced, and narrow spaced for the frequency in use, such as window line 450 ohm nominal and 300 ohm nominal at HF bands, there should be minimal field outside the feeders d

Ouch!! Here's some nit picking: If the feeders are truly balanced, and narrow spaced for the frequency What is 'truly balanced'? The only way you get the phase in open wire feeders exactly 180 degree

Let me add another nit or two for the picking: It requires more than just equal dipole halves to make a "truly balanced" system. The environment of each half of the dipole must be the same such that

All true, all true. Yes, the balanced feeders must have current measured, and I advocate use of two RF ammeters, so as to upset the line the same on both sides. Yet, L. B. Cebik reports his experimen

Hi all, Well, I'm enjoying this thread more all the time. Many interesting technical points being brought forward. And still no flames ! :) I'd like to add another comment about ground though. I feel

Agreed, a really good ground is not all that expensive. While I have built and used several ground fields I to work a couple of them over after lightning strikes. So I do it a little differently nowa
