[Antennas] ladder line questions

Fri, 14 Nov 2003 17:30:00 -0800

I may need to know the answer to this question as well.

I made my ladder line from insulated stranded wire and plastic pipe(electrical  
conduit), then to twin coax from the outside to the tuner.  The antenna is the 88ft 
model with a Z lay-out.  It is suppose to be multiband.  I have been in contact with 2 
different people from this reflector and they cannot solve the problem.  It is not their 
fault but mine in not being able to communicate properly.

So, I think that insulated multistrand is good.

Would Any of you know what consequences it would have to build the
ladder line out of insulated wire ?

An open wire feeder runs the risk of getting into touch with something
on its way, and may even short cirquit if it gets twisted.

This could be avoided if the ladder line was made of insulated wire,
but which other consequences might it have ?

I would use standard insulated single or multithreaded wire with
spacers, Would that be a good or a bad idea ?
