but I urge a more moderate approach. Getting the lines more than a few
electrical degrees apart will allow them to radiate some of the power we
would like to transmit to the antenna. Art Collins held his
engineering staff to a very demanding tolerance of one electrical
degree -- about an inch at 30 MHz.. I believe that a 3 to 6 inch
spacing is reasonable. I use line supplied by W7FG, spaced at about 4
inches. It has held up well in the hills of east Tennessee. 73, Allan
