Paul,

For the ladderline vs. coax question, you might want to take a look at 
the article I wrote for QRP Quarterly some years back.  If so, go to my 
website www.w3fpr.com and look at the Antenna, Transmission Lines and 
Tuners article.  You can also find that article at 
http://www.dxzone.com/dx19232/antennas-and-transmission-lines-myths.html 
- I am pleased that DXzone has chosen to preserve it.

73,
Don W3FPR
