Greetings... I've used open wire feeder successfully over the years in some fairly small, limited applications. However, I have a 160 transmit antenna that I'm constructing that will be about 800 cab

The tuning adjustment at the matching device will be more cricical, since you will be running over a full wavelength of tuned feedline. A given change in frequency will move the current /voltage poi

Don made a very good point. The longer the low-loss feedline (and higher the SWR) the more rapidly peaks and valleys in impedance occur. I had a 1500-foot open wire line of number 8 solid copper spa

Dave I don't think there should be any problems if you are several feet away from the fencing wire, but you do need to be careful to not unbalance the feedline. I base that conclusion on my working (

This is true for a feedline badly mismatched at the antenna. I feed a multi-wire rhombic with an 800 foot open wire line (600 ohms) and my SWR is under 1.5 : 1 from over 21 MHz to 3.5 MHz! And the lo

I have 850 feet of open wire line to my 160 vertical. There are numerous photos of it on my web site at http://www.n6rk.com/openwire.html. It is 4 AWG stranded aluminum XHHW wire, spaced 5 inches. A

Another approach is to use a multi-wire open wire line, using 4 or more conductors. I have heard of ones using as many as 16 wires configured in a matrix with a variety of patterns in which sets of

Hi Dave, You're gonna love the low loss of open wire feed!...far less than coax. Are you talking about the line that is about 1" spacing? I would recommend building your own, really...it's easy to do

I have 350' of coax going to a remote antenna switch which allows me to select from 5 vertical wires, I just posted about my radial system/plate they are part of. Amazing to me is between these 5 wir
