			Ladder Line or Coax For Reception only? 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	I have a 500 foot SkyWire Loop Antenna, about 30 feet off the ground and I have it fed with Coax. I will only be using it to receive Shortwave broadcasts from 2Mhz to 30Mhz. It will never be used to transmit. My questions are : (1) Will using a Ladder Line instead of Coax improve my reception? (2) If so, where do I change to coax? Or do I just run the Ladder line into the house and straight to the receiver? (3) What about electrical interference since the ladder line isn't shielded? Thanks.  |
