I just read this article from ARRL:

This is exactly what I want to do. Put up a single dipole that I can
use reasonably well on HF bands. The thing I haven't figured out yet
about ladder line yet is how to bring it in to the house.
My current setup is a 10m dipole with RG58 coax feed line shoved under
the back door. Obviously I can't do that with ladder line (aluminum
door). I think I might get away with drilling two holes in the wall
and putting in connectors, then attach the ladder line to the
connectors. On the other side of the wall.... would I still want to
use ladder line to continue on into the tuner? Or would would I want
to attach a coax at that point from the wall to the tuner? Or maybe I
need to hang my tuner on the wall. I'll google around and see
what other people are doing, but I'd like to hear some ideas if anyone
here is using ladder line. (should I change the topic for this
thread?)

Cecil, I love your no tuner ladder line idea. I think someday I'll try
that when I have more experience with feed lines and antennas.
