I should add, I generally use the 450 ohm ladder line with 14 gauge
stranded wire.

I have a Rohn HDBX 48 with a tribander at the top. I don't have much
in the way of lower band antennas. I was thinking of adding an
inverted V, with the apex at the top of the tower, fed with ladder
line to a remote tuner near the bottom of the tower.
However, I'm concerned about the interaction between the tower and the
ladder line. Some of the info I've read suggests it's not that big of
a deal as long as the ladder line is a few inches from the metal.
Other info I've read suggests otherwise.
I there a "minimum safe distance" between a tower and ladder line? Or,
is running ladder line parallel to a metal tower just a bad thing at
any distance? Anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks,
