I don't have a loop like yours, but I do feed a couple of antennas with
commercial 450-ohm ladder line. No problems bringing it into the house. In
fact, it cleaned up a few TVI problems I had when feeding an antenna with
coax.

Seems like everyone I talk to about using ladder line to my
proposed 540' horizontal skywire loop does a double take when
I say I want to use ladder line into the shack. I was curious
if there are any fans of ladderline feed systems who can
relate positive experiences, or am I about to really court
disaster here.

The ARRL antenna book says that coax to this type of antenna
is not as "multiband" friendly as was once fantasized....they
recommend ladder line.

Anyone actually have such a loop? What is your experience?
