[Elecraft] OT: Balanced Feedlines

Can anyone suggest a compact balanced line that can handle 1000 watts? I like the size of that Radio Shack 300 ohm TV line, but 100 watts is likely the maximum. I'd like to build a stealthy KW antenna. The 20m dipole radiating elements are so low to the ground that 3:1 SWR is the best I can get. If I tune this out with a tuner, there will be too many db's of loss over the 100 feet of feed required. I assume a KW would melt the TV line. Any suggestions? Don...
