Topband: Using CAT5 in place of coax (was video baluns)

[ZR]

I didnt say at the same feedpoint; each CAT5 pair is a seperate feed and 
then you seperate the actual antenna ends and ground rods the 30-40' as 
suggested.

Thats what I do here and there is a minimum of 30' between each antenna and 
the relay box.
