[Elecraft] Twin Lead feedline

[Robert Tellefsen]

Thom
There are various grades of 300 ohm twinlead.
Some are very cheap and have pretty skimpy
conductors.  Some are good quality.  There is/was
at least one version that was suitable for transmitting
(power level not stated that I can recall).  If you
have some of the good quality stuff, you can probably
do 100w just fine.  I'd watch out for the skimpy stuff,
though.
Good luck and 73
