The idea of twist is to maintain balance in the line. It was done in the old days of television with twin lead to try to get rid of ghosting. For low band operation it probably doesn't make much difference. If you do twist you probably only need one twist every 1/4 wave or so to maintain "balance". Personally I think the virtue of twisting is overblown. 73 W9OY _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/tentec |
