Default Open wire feed line vs coax.

About 6 months ago, I got the urge, after having moved, to
put the station back on the air. I ended up with a 102'
doublet antenna fed with home brew open wire line rather
than using traps or an off center feed with coax. The
results have been absolutely amazing.

I never thought I could sneak through a pile up to Russia
with just 100 watts.
