I don't have a loop but I have used 600 ohm open wire line for years and
love it! It does require good tuner or, in Cecil's designs, controlled lengths of line, for a good match. I transition from ladder line to coax using a current balun and bring the coax into the shack. This is about a 10 foot run of coax. I run a KW when required and no problems in wind, rain, snow or ice.

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? Bill, K6TAJ |
