Re: Topband: Antenna question

["Bruce" <k1fz@myfairpoint.net>]

Thanks for the input I have one Beverage using WD-1A also.

Audio wire  is and has been used in Radio & TV stations that I have worked.
It is constructed to reject AC  hum and RF into the pair. It works 
extremely well.   Theories are easy--remember when we had to lay radials 
enough to achieve 36 ohm at the base of
a quarter wave  vertical.  At that time, some would argue this "until hell 
froze over."  (: >))
I would like to see if anyone actually tried the wire, and if it rejected 
any portion of RF signals.
