Johann, what do you mean by "conventional feedline?"
And on what bands would you use the 30m end-fed wire?
Normally, for an end-fed wire, if the wire isn't brought directly to the
tuner, it's fed with open-wire or ladder line, using the balanced output
terminals of a tuner in the shack, and one side of the line driving the
wire, with the other side unterminated. This is the standard, old-fashioned
"Zepp" feed, and it works.
I wouldn't use coaxial cable for this, at least not for multi-band use.
