Fred, any hints on winding your 450-ohm line around the wood dowels? I
have a feedline I wouldn't mind lengthening if I could do it without
loose ladderline everywhere.

If you would send me an e-mail so I can get your address, I will send you
some photos. Are you on broadband or dial up?

You can string a straight piece of nylon/dacron rope from
one point to another and spiral the ladder-line using the
rope for support. Black tie wraps keep the ladder-line in
position. Another idea is to hang the ladder-line, accordion
style, under the eaves of your house.
