If Cat 5 cable will work why won't two wire twisted air audio cable? Is it because of the tightness of the twist that is of concern. I see no reason it won't work except for the cancellation property of twisted pair but with a Beverage we are dealing with a different wire signal propagation medium....unless of course it has a shield like most broadcast audio wire used today does, then all bets are off.

Intriguing question ?

Has anyone on the reflector ACTUALLY tried two wire audio twisted pair for a 2 
wire, two direction Beverage antenna. If yes, how did it work ? Notice any 
added directional properties?
