[NJARC] question regarding long wire antennas

[Al Klase]

Joe,

Using a shielded feed line can be helpful to control local noise.  I 
gets a little complicated, but it's not rocket science.  Broad-band 
transformers make this practical.

See:  http://www.skywaves.ar88.net/ANTENNA/antsys.htm

I can't believe how long ago I did this.  It might be time to reveal the 
secrets of the balanced/unbalanced  doublet we're using at the Museum, 
but that's center-fed and might present some physical challenges 
depending how you hang it..
