Seems like everyone I talk to about using ladder line to my
proposed 540' horizontal skywire loop does a double take when
I say I want to use ladder line into the shack. I was curious
if there are any fans of ladderline feed systems who can
relate positive experiences, or am I about to really court
disaster here.

The ARRL antenna book says that coax to this type of antenna
is not as "multiband" friendly as was once fantasized....they
recommend ladder line.

Anyone actually have such a loop? What is your experience?

That is the cleverest thing I've seen today. Wow. Very nifty.

My only concern when constructing something like that is how to store
the longer lengths (eight and sixteen) of ladder line -- can they be
coiled up? If so, it's less unwieldy and can scale even higher.

Of course, those hams who know binary arithmetic will luck out here.

Jack.
