    I would like to replace the coax from my cloud burner loop with 
Ladder Line.  I have looked through the Handbook and other antenna 
books and have found information on running ladder line past/over 
large metal surfaces (roofs etc).  But I have not found any practical 
info on running it once you get inside the house ?

    I live in a raised ranch style house with the shack in a front 
room and the antenna's out back.  I could bring the Ladder Line into 
the house about 6 feet off the ground and run it in between the 
floor joists 
then up through the wall to the shack.  This run will be about 18' 
long and I was planning on using 2" plastic conduit to house the 
line.  This route however will pass within about 24" of several 
fluorescent lights and some other house wiring.  Will this be a 
problem ? 

Thanks in Advance
