[TowerTalk] Open Wire Feed

[K7HPH]

Hello:

I was out of town and missed some of the discussions on open wire feeders. I
have a question that I haven't seen addressed, although it probably has and
I missed it. I have an 80 Meter Dipole fed with 450 ohm ladder line. At my
new house, I must run my coax rotor cable, etc. through a 20 foot 3 inch
conduit to get to the shack. I am thinking that I need to terminate the
ladder line to a balun designed for such applications and run the coax
output through the conduit to the antenna tuner to run multi-bands on the
dipole.

My question is this. I run an Alpha 87A and a 77. What commercially made
balun would handle that high of power?

Thanks for the info.

73, Mark...
