- Yes, you can do this to make balanced shielded line, but it doesn't buy you a whole lot. It has basically the same loss as a single coax run, which can be quite a lot if you're using open wire or wi

- Looks like I should have said Window line - 450 ohm. Not "ladder" line. 73, Jim your house. Seems like the center leads of a pair of coax were connected as if they were the ladderline at the tuner an

- What it buys you is a fairly good way to get a balanced line through the wall without severely unbalancing the line or coupling RF to wood, metal, etc. The short length of the coax going through the

- Hi Jim I remember seeing an article in CQ years back and it was for a center fed dipole fed with 2 leads of coax for open wire. The grounds were tied together at the antenna and the tuner and fed lik

- Radio Works has a transformer for feeding Ladder/Window Line from coax. The coax gets you from the transmitter through the wall/window to the input of the transformer hanging outside and the output t

- Try Lew McCoy's book "Lew McCoy On Antennas". He mentions this method of feeding ladder line on page 39/40. I saw something somewhere about using coax as ladder line to get out of your house. Seems l

- I've used rg213 pairs as house-entrance extensions of open wire line. You should expect it to be lossy, particularly if you're using it as a multi-band antenna, where vswr may be quite high on some f

- But if you are talking about just a few inches to get through the wall of the house, the loss shouldn't be any higher than with feed-through insulators. I would use some larger size coax than RG-213,
