Topband: Open wire line vs. Paralleled coaxials.

[Dennis OConnor <ad4hk2004@yahoo.com>]

I have long runs of both 600 ohm open wire line and coax... I have runs of coax 
out to a 1000 feet that on 80 meters and to 1500 feet on 160 meters... I do not 
find the coax losses to be a problem...
Lowest loss is open wire, of course... For 160 meters the line loss from a few 
hundreds of feet in not meaningful...  Run the line that is the most convenient 
for you...
