[Elecraft] Why does Antenna Feedline have 2 wires

Sat Jun 28 13:09:00 2003

This discussion reminds me of the poor ham I encountered several years
ago who complained that he was having a hard time finding a big enough
balance scale to use with his antenna tuner.  When I asked him what he
was trying to accomplish he said he had a ladder line transmission line
and had read that it was better to use it with a balanced tuner!  I
really think he was serious.  I guess any line that has two wires offers
a potential for trouble.

Of course, that's for a mono setup.  Obviously, if it were stereo, you'd

need two wires for the audio.  <grin>
