If one had to install a ground mounted vertical as far as 2,000 feet
from the shack and wanted to avoid the expense of using low loss coax,
could a balanced feedline be used as an alternative? The idea would be
to run the balanced feed line to the base of the antenna and connect to
the antenna through a current balun. The input to the feedline and the
antenna would be matched by means of a balanced tuner in the shack.
Anyone have any thoughts on the effectiveness of this arrangement?
Thanks and 73,
