In our ever growing quest lighten the weight on DXpedition luggage, I'm looking 
for an alternative feed line for RX antennas.  Does anyone have data on the 
impedance and line loss of twin lead (speaker wire)?  I'm assuming that some 
form of speaker wire would have less weight than RG-8X?

Belden used to make 72 ohm twin lead for transmissions, but I don't think it's 
still available.

Many thanks,

Kenny K2KW
