I have a spool of 300 ohm antenna feed line out in the barn,
never been used. Probably enough there for some kind of
antenna, I will have to unspool it and see how much is there.
Anyone have anything good to say about those folded dipoles
that use this 300 ohm line for both the antenna and the feed
line? I have seen illustrations of folded dipoles using
this, but in actual practice this line will naturally have
some twising when it is suspended. I cannot imagine how you
would keep it from doing this to some extent. What effect
would this twisting have on the effectiveness of the antenna.
The illustrations always show them geometrically perfect and
straight and parallel.
