If  you need ladder line to construct a two wire Beverage remember 
regular 300 ohm TV twin lead works well and probably costs much less.  
Even the military telephone wire or regular telephone drop wire will 
work well  and should be available in Europe for next to nothing since 
so many places are running fiber there direct to houses.  There is a 
lower impedance with telephone wire but that can easily be adjusted by 
using a different ratio of turns in the feed and end units. KD9SV sells 
special units for telephone wire and I use several here.
