	My favorite example of this was a visit to the TransWorld Radio shortwave
	site on Bonaire (PJ4).  They had a 50kw broadcast station driving their
	750kw final and the curtain array (14.5 Mhz) was (is still?) fed with open
	"wire" line using two parallel runs of 4" aluminum irrigation tubing (or
what 	looked like that) for the conductors...
