Topband: Open wire line vs. Paralleled coaxials.

[Dennis OConnor]

I have long runs of both 600 ohm open wire line and coax... I have runs of coax out to a 1000 feet that on 80 meters and to 1500 feet on 160 meters... I do not find the coax losses to be a problem...
Lowest loss is open wire, of course... For 160 meters the line loss from a few hundreds of feet in not meaningful...  Run the line that is the most convenient for you...
