[TowerTalk] 135 foot dipole, 300 ohm twinlead

[Jan Erik Holm]

If possible I would do away with the balun and
run 400-600 ohm line all the way to the tuner,
and use a balanced tuner.
Also there are some 300 ohm TV twin lead out there
that are quite lossy so that might be something
to think about, better to make your own high Z
open wire line.
