Thank you Evan! I guess I should give the balanced line a try before
counting it out. What kind of antenna tuner do you use and how do you
connect your balanced line to it? Through a balun or not?

I use window line to feed my horizontal loop and have found that it can be
fed
into the shack quite easily. Next year I'm going to try true open wire
line
and see how it works out.

As to RFI in the shack, I have none. Generally, with a loop, the currents
in
the open wire line will be of equal amplitude but of opposite phase; hence
no
radiation. While I don't have a computer, I do use a Macintosh which does
everything a computer does only easier, and it has had no problems running
while I'm using legal limit power through the feedline which is only two
feet
from the Macintosh.

In terms of recommeded priority, I'd say use open wire line or window line
to
feed the loop, second best would be to use a balun at the antenna, and
third
would be to use a remote tuner where the feedline enters the home, and
finally
a remote tuner at the antenna feedpoint.

But you have to decide for yourself what is important to you in terms of
performance, cost, convenience, appearance, etc.

Best of luck and 73s,

Evan
