I see you use 450 ohm ladder line (or window-line as some call it.) I
am wondering if the concept will also work with other impedance
feedline such as 600, 300 or 75 ohm twin-line or even possibly with
coax. ****

Does the feedline act as part of the antenna? I am sure it will, at
least up to the 'no-tuner' if it acts like a G5RV, but do you know if
the feedline radiates?

That answer would be 'no'. I see that the purpose of the feedline
length is to get the maximum current at the center point of the
dipole.




I see a couple of the frequencies are above 1.5:1, which I am not
comfortable going over with solid state rigs. Do you think that could
be fine-tuned with the addition of a 1/2 foot section or maybe with
that and a 1/4 foot section?

Based on the fact that the antenna is being fed maximum current at the
center, I would guess that this should work.
