Ray,
 
You can add as much ladder line as you need. Just be sure to keep it away from metallic objects as much as possible.

Hello all

Ok I have ordered a 160-6 doublet antenna 102 ft long.  Well I put the rope 
lines up in prep for the antennas arrival and have notice a potential 
problem.  Well got the ends up at 110 and 115 respectively .... but the 
center hangs at 86 ft  the antenna comes with 100ft of ladder line ooopsss I 
don't have enough.  Can you add additional ladder line to the 100 ft of 
ladder line I already have before I put it into the tunner with out causing 
problems.

regards ray    my new ham motto .... " havent seen a 100ft tree I dont want 
to stick an antenna in "
