Use one Parallel Wire with the House Radio.


Use the 'other' Parallel Wire with the Work Shop Radio.


Use a separate Matching Transformer and Coax Cable
at each end.


Use a separate Ground Rod for the House and the
Work Shop.


NO Switches and Switching Required. ~ RHF


I wonder if the weight of the 100 foot length would be a problem. What
about wind loading? Canadian winters forming ice on the flat surfaces?

There are a lot of variables there and only actually installing it would
*tell me anything.

-ps- it's a bi-polar antenna that likes to go both ways ;-}


That's just disgusting. I've heard of Baluns and UnUns but I'll be
damned if I connect a BalBal. That's what bipolar antennas use but only
half the time.

Mike - Weather is a Hillary !

Run Two 'parallel' Strong Antenna Wires about a
One to Two Feet apart; with one under the other.

Terminate each of the Wires with a Nylon/Poly Rope
about 10~15 Feet from it's Far-End.

House x--------------------------------------o.........
..........o---------------------------------------x Shop

Top Fed at one End -and- Bottom Fed at the other End.
