Hello Andree, The loss you observe primarily depends on a loss in WD-1 wire used as in a transmition line mode.
As wire made by different manufactures, with different polyethylene, steel and copper strands, and tolerances in size its impedance is different. And of course mismatch in transformers occurs increasing the “loss” you observe. From our experience at LowBandSystems we believe 150-200 meters is a practical limit for this type of wire to be used in a transmition line mode. But it should be checked. Anyhow WD-1 is a cheap and good solution for those with limited property not allowing to install a long beverages.
