I like 600 ohms . Losses go up faster when vegetation comes in contact with wires if the impedance goes much higher. I try to keep the wires clear even at 600 ohms.

And how did they determine the "optimum" distance the wires...? _______________________________________________ Topband reflector - [email protected]
