If DX Engineering will ship by USPS the price is the same regardless if
you live in Ohio or Hawaii.

A quick question:
I'm considering a reversible Beverage out in KH6 using DX Engineering setup.
Their system requires the Beverage to be constructed of 450 ohm ladder line.
Cost of the ladder line and the cost of shipping 1500 feet to KH6 is quite
high. The system is designed to operate in a range of 300-600 ohms and of
course the 450 ohms is right in the middle of that range.
I've heard of guys using two wires in parallel to each other spaced 6-12
inches
kept apart with home brew spacers and was considering this as an economical
alternative. I asked the guy from DX-Engineering if this would work and he
wasn't sure since he didn't know what the impedance would be for the two
wires.
So, here I am.
Any rough idea as to what the impedence would be for two nr 14 wires spaced
around 6 inches or 12 inches? I'd really like to use the DX Engineering
stufffor this but want to be sure it would work with something other than the
450 ohm ladder line.
Thanks ahead of time!
