[Elecraft] OT; Feedline question

[Richard Fjeld]

Okay, and thanks to all for the info which I will save.

What made me curious is that twin lead is stated in steps of 150 ohms. 
IE. 300, 450, 600.
I assumed it was to match the impedance of certain antennas such as a 
folded dipole, etc.
Since I understand my loop to be a non-resonant antenna, and using a 
manual tuner, I thought
I'd be okay to change the spacer dims, but I wondered if I was 
over-looking something.

Thanks again,

Dick, n0ce
