[TowerTalk] Open Wire (another use)

[N2NU@aol.com]

I use open wire (ladderline actually) for a 900 ft 2 wire switchable beverage.  Works great, and is supported on a combination of poles and trees, using those plastic coated ladder hooks you can buy in any hardware store.

The ladderline I use is copperweld and is held at the forward end, and pulled taut at the back end, using a come-along, then tied with rope.

The other use here is as feedline for 80 meter double
extended zepp, so I can tune it on cw and phone thru a MBVA.

It has its applications.
