Subject: [TenTec] Openwire fed differently
For completeness of this thread, I checked with a
friend of mine who runs 1000ft of openwire line from
his house out to his antenna farm. The line is
terminated by broad band trandformers at each end. He
uses this as a low loss condiut rather than trying to
run a thousand feet of coax with its inherent loss,
and he uses it to feed his beams etc. He does not
twist, and notices no problem with balance. The line
has very good isolation.
Just another data point for the hopper
