Open wire line
I have 1000 feet of open wire line. It is made from 4 AWG stranded aluminum XHHW wire spaced on 5 inch centers. It is supported every 50 feet by 5 foot poles and there are 3 insulators between each support. Zo = 450 ohms +/- 5%. The loss is .3 dB on 160 meters including the transformers at each end
Open Wire Feeder Construction
For the suppliers of 450 ohm open feeder. It is far easier to build this than find suppliers of this cable, and its a great deal less expensive
Rhombic antenna project
Back in the 1980's I built this Rhombic Antenna on an Island owned by Movie Actor Marlon Brando. He was a Amateur Radio Operator and wanted an antenna that would help him communicate better with his home in Los Angeles, California.
The inverse half-wave doublet
It is not always easy to fix a doublet between two high points in a well-cleared place
