Hello,
I am going to need about 100-150 feet of 450 - 600 Ohm open wire (balanced) line for construction of the new aerial. Can anyone recommend a good place to buy this kind of wire these days ? For my applications the 450 Ohm plastic coated stuff would probably be fine, as it will be less likely to twist and short than the bare ladder type line.
for 450 ohm stuff.... Davis RF without a doubt. Can you get cheaper..yeah...but stronger and better..naw. buy the good stuff (14awg) and do it right.
Oh.... BTW.. long run? try this puppies from DX engineering. Ladder line supports mounted on a cedar or redwood 2"x2" garden posts. Keeps ladder line off the ground and supported till it goes airborne! Its what I use at chez BNY.
My favorite feedline for HF. :agree:

I got some good stuff from eBay, but I need more.
Trueladderline or the wireman.com. Stranded only. The solid turns to Sheit to fast and kinks and breaks in the wind.. Edit: If you weave like 90 pound fishline through to holes of 450 you can keep it taught from top to bottom, Or from end to end.. Whichever
OK, thanks for the info. I'll check them out.
