Okay, and thanks to all for the info which I will save. What made me curious is that twin lead is stated in steps of 150 ohms. IE. 300, 450, 600. I assumed it was to match the impedance of certain antennas such as a folded dipole, etc. Since I understand my loop to be a non-resonant antenna, and using a manual tuner, I thought I'd be okay to change the spacer dims, but I wondered if I was over-looking something.
