[TenTec] 450 ohm open line feed with ten tec tuner

[Jim McDonald]

I actually drilled two 3/8" (I think) holes through my stucco/frame walls
and used two WWII surplus feed through insulators.  I replaced the threaded
shafts with 12" or so brass ones from Home Depot.  I enclosed the brass
shafts with Home Depot clear Lucite (I think??) tubing for insulation.

When I sell the house, it's just spackling compound and paint.

boys and girls..

several questions....

I just put up a center feed zepp with 68 feet of wire on each leg. Feeding
with 450 ohm open line..

now, it's been a while since I've used open line, but any ideas on how to
get it into the shack?

and, should I use a external balun with the 238 tuner to keep the open line
outside the shack?

or would the internal balun work better? but have the feed line inside the
shack?
