Have you considered open wire?

Only if coax is not practical. Assuming a matched load (resonant antenna), you'll need transformers on each end to get from the low Z of the matched load to the line, and from the line to the rig. Those transformers are not lossless. :)

And if it's not a low Z matched load, it's not practical to choke it to kill noise, which was the reason for the long run in the first place.
