Thanks Guys, I got some good replies and it cause me to
reconsider the change. I find that the best and most simple change
will be to remove the RG-8X and it's high attenuation and install all
JT-2015 (RG-8 Type) from R&L Electronics. Also to put a good 1:1
balun at the feed point.
I have a 160M windom and a G5RV and will dedicate this
inverted vee antenna to 75M. This will be not used on 40M due to the
high resistance on the second harmonic with the current balun.
Yes the added baluns for the ladder line would increase the
insertion loss and yes the wet ladder line is a poor conductor. And
the cost will be spent for a more efficiency designed system.
