[TowerTalk] Balanced Feedline for Ground Mounted Vertical?

[Joe Giacobello]

If one had to install a ground mounted vertical as far as 2,000 feet 
from the shack and wanted to avoid the expense of using low loss coax, 
could a balanced feedline be used as an alternative?  The idea would be 
to run the balanced feed line to the base of the antenna and connect to 
the antenna through a current balun.  The input to the feedline and the 
antenna would be matched by means of a balanced tuner in the shack.

Anyone have any thoughts on the effectiveness of this arrangement?

Thanks and 73,

Joe
