[TowerTalk] Open wire line convert

[alsopb]

Guys,

Given the strong arguments for open wire line presented here, I
decided to convert all 9 antennas over to open wire line.

Here's what I need to do:

1) Build 2500' of open wire line from readily available ceramic
spacers and #12 wire
2) Build numerous 9:1 high power baulns
3) Build 36:1 high power baulns to match the beams
4) Build super reliable rotary joints for each beam
5) Sink 75 poles in the ground to attach the open wire line to and run
it. Defoliate all
the areas around the poles and runs so that nothing will grown into
the line.
6) Figure out a way of lowering the HAZERs without destroying the line
each time
7) Fabricate a huge number of standoffs.
8) Convert all coax switches to open wire switches
9) Convince the XYL that none of these things in any way detracts from
the view
   compared to buried feedlines lines.

The benefits expressed here are obviously worth it.  Yea, right.
