[TowerTalk] Fwd: 450 ohm feedline and coax

You can run the twin line close to a coax or any metallic object for a  
short distant. I would suggest you use some distant, even so little, for this  
short run. It's a matter of what capacitance the individual wires "sees" as 
well  as what magnetic field from the twin line can interact with close 
objects.

Subj: [TowerTalk] 450 ohm feedline and  coax


HI All

I've seen that you should keep the 450 ohm  twinlead at leas the width of 
the cable away from anything metallic.   Does that include coax cable?  I 
want to run some twinlead out to an  antenna and where it would come into 
the shack is a coax cable and it  would be laying right on top of it.

Just wonder it that would cause any  problems.  73 and Marry Christmas.
