I bought 2300 feet of lmr 400 for 600 bucks delivered, I buy rg8x for 85  
bucks per 500 feet, and still have 300 feet of rg59 on hand for matching stubs  
etc., and have some rg178 for pass through stuff, so I don't find it too  
expensive to use coax to each antenna, .and I can actually solder on a connector  
too.
 
 I have multiple radios and amps and have problems  running twin  lead in the 
shack. so I drill a hole in the wall and shove coax through the hole  and 
then put a connector on the other end on.
 
 I would love to use twin lead, but my shack and the 70 mph winds here  
preclude the use of twinlead..  and I have yet to find a way to feed a beam  direct 
with ladder line..
 
 YMMV

Gentlemen,
I read this list every day and enjoy it a  lot. The thread on 
resonate versus non resonate antennas is very  informative from some 
very good operators. One thing I noticed is most  people are not 
editing their posts before replying. Take a little time and  snip out 
the old message so it isn't repeated time after time. This is  just a 
suggestion that will make the list better.
I use a  dipole with ladder line and it works for me on all bands. I 
can't imagine  buying coax for each antenna at todays prices. Just my 
two cents  worth.
