someone tried to feed a type g5rv antenna with ŽeuropeanŽ zip-cord ?
(european meaning double the Volts compared to USA, thus half amps
for the same lamp wattage)
Would yield a simple ant, peel the first say abt 15- 17 meters, splitting
them up to the dipole part and the the rest X meter to a balanced tuner


etc.

sorry if this has been up too many times, search didŽnt give a clue!

Tnx for info, 73 Per / sm7aha malmo, sweden





Go for it. I've seen a dipole fed by electric blasting wire. Worked fine.
