Would anyone care to reply as to how
to construct ladder line easily and effectively? How does one determine
spacing to get X ohms impedance line?


One of many ways is to use plastic coathangers for spacers. These are
readily available, and have the added advantage that you can choose your color.
Just chop them up to whatever spacing you desire.
If you are planning on just a single band antenna, I would feed it with coax.
However, if you are going multi-band with a tuner, use the open wire line.
The Impedance is not critical. Use 2" to 6" spacing.
