Hi All!

I'm in the midst of putting up an antenna for WARC bands.  I'm making a 
130 foot dipole with tuned feeders.  In reading about the feedline it 
stated that the foam 300 ohm solid ribbon is not that good to use 
because when it gets wet the SWR changes.  Is that a problem other than 
the fact that I may have to adjust the tuner a bit to get the SWR back 
down.  Will it detract from the operation of the antenna?  Thanks
Tom W7WHY
