[TenTec] TWINCOM feedline ?????????????

[Rob Atkinson, K5UJ]

I'm planning on putting open wire feed through a basement window by knocking 
out a middle window pane (removing it with care actually) and putting in a 
plexiglass pane with holes drilled through it for the feedline.

Titanex also makes a wide spaced open wire line.  I think it is sold in the 
U.S. through Array Solutions (www.arraysolutions.com).  The spacing is 
around 100 mm and the impedance is 700 ohms.  See 
http://www.titanex.de/acc.html#TWINWIRE for specs.  It isn't cheap--around a 
buck a foot I believe.  I am not sure what the advantages are of such a wide 
space and 100 ohms higher impedance (comparing with the W7FG line--600 ohms 
(see www.w7fg.com) which is much cheaper).  Anyone know?
