feeders. only problem you may have is comming up with the terminating
resistor.. Their kinda hard to find cheaply today.


Might not be a problem for 100W - I'm on solar power and don't want to
have to fire up the generator to power a linear


Something that I saw done on commercial sites with high power
transmitters is to run a feedline down from the termination end of the
rhombic and run it underground for a while. If the loss is sufficient,
you don't even need the terminating resistor.
