[Towertalk] Distance to tower

[Ford Peterson]

My antenna was destroyed last weekend.  Bummer. Oh well, time to rebuild.

I'm thinking about 160' of Rohn 45.   A 40 - 10 meter yagi will sit at the
top.

Here's my problem.  The ideal location is in a field on the west end of the
property.  Feedlines will be > 400' to shack #1 and over 600' to shack 2.
Open lines are awfully bulky and would have to be strung over driveways,
etc.

Is this manageable with coax?  Am I looking at preamps and hardline as the
only option?

I'm looking for ideas.
