Hi Jim

I remember seeing an article in CQ years back and it was for a center fed 
dipole fed with 2 leads of coax for open wire.  The grounds were tied 
together at the antenna and the tuner and fed like open wire line.  Not sure 
how that would work, but the guy who wrote the article said it worked good.
