I seem to recall that ladder/open-wire feeders are relatively high

feeder and if so, what would the spacing be?

Thanks!

And something else for you to ponder: Coax is generally available
commercially at about 50 ohms and about 75 ohms, with a few lines at
about 95 ohms and some specials of other low impedances. What would
~500 ohm coax look like (assuming a straight center conductor, not a
helix)?
