I am going to re-do my 350 foot flat top currently fed in the center with 450 ohm ladder line. If I shorten it to make it a 160/80 meter dipole with a set of 80 meter traps (I already have) can I still feed the dipole with 450 ohm ladder line???
Why do I ask? If I don't have to re-do the center of the flat-top to feed it with coax I won't have to let the tower down to re-do the center, a big job!
Will this combo work?
Anyone have thoughts on this?
Thanks.
George
