Dave,

Go the single wire feed route.  Use a match box if you want.

I have a single 14AWG solid 150ft spool that I string up for use on my 
Kenwood R-2000 and the HRO-50-T1.

Does a great job!

I hear more than I want!  I use the RF gain or the R-2000's attenuator 
as needed.

It really isn't mounted in a high manner, just over the shed roof, 
across the span to the second story deck roof, and run this way and that 
way.

Most of the time I never get the entire spool payed [sic] out.  I still 
can hear way over reasonable expectations.

I did a full tweak and alignment of the R-2000.  It is now extremely 
sensitive!

YMMV!  All $0.02 worth!

Bob
