[TowerTalk] Rigging Dipoles and Growing Old

[bob finger]

I simply cannot resist.  The simple solution is to replace the coax with
a length of open wire line (window ladder line for anyone under 40 years
old).  Bring the open line off the tower at an angle and terminate it
wherever convenient with a DX Engineering balun, then run coax to the
tuner/radio.  There are recommended lengths for that open line, but
usually it is not critical.  Twist the open line two to three twists per
foot so it does not act like a sail in the wind.  Problem solved.  73
