We have a 1500' tower real close by if anyone wants to climb it at night and
put the loop up. LOL!!!

hmmm, feeding all 8 lines in phase should remove the effects of twists and
they are all insulated so shouldn't it act like a poor man's Litz wire?
Less copper per sq in but even new retail the top grade Cat 5 cable is what,
$60/1000 ft?  Now who has a 350ft tower with some 300ft cross arms <G>???
