Topband: 450 ohm ladder line used as 2W Beverages

[W6IZT at aol.com]

the windows in the line will lock onto the ribs of a dogbone insulator. I
often use them for supports. Go to your local HW store and get some #6 or #8
machine screws/lag bolts. These have one end threaded with a machine screw
and the other end threaded with a wood screw. Drill the appropriate size
hole in the end of the dogbone and thread the machine screw into the
dogbone. The end with the woodscrew can be threaded into a wooden support

What is a good way to support this stuff over an 880ft run?  What
orientation is best, wires vertical or horizontal with ground, or does
it even matter.

 What is the purpose of twisting every 10 or 20 feet as mentioned in
ON4UN's handbook?

OK...enough for now...don't want to explode with incoming knowledge!
