Fellows,

Strange as it may seam your local telephone company may be able to help you.

That old black 2 conductor wire hung between poles and up to the house makes 
good feed line wire.

Find two lengths of it. Twist both conductors in each plastic wire section 
together at each end and use that as one conductor. You can space the wires to 
form feed line. The two conductors will do 200 watts before you need to do some 
math on SWR voltages. The wire is known to hold up well in the weather.
