[ARC5] Antenna for small yard

[AKLDGUY .]

It's not a question of how to fit several dozen feet of wire into my yard.
Anyone can do that. What I want to know is how do I feed it from the 5-8
ohm, 150pF impedance of the BC-230 and ARC-5?

I cannot get the rig under the antenna, so there has to be a horizontal
feedline, either suspended in air or laid on ground. What impedance
feedline do I use?

I'm reluctant to use coax because it means an intermediate conversion from
5 to 50 to ?whatever. It would be better to go from 5 straight to antenna,
especially as the aircraft transmitters are designed to work into a very
short antenna.

Please, no more 50/75 ohm solutions.
