I have an 80x100 foot lot. On a diagonal between trees I could put up a
flattop of 102 feet. Should I put up a G5RV or bend the wire at each end and
go for a 135 foot center fed? My rig is a TS-440S with a built in tuner.
What type of feed do you recommend. Some say you get the least loss with
twin lead. Should I use 300 or 450 ohm? Then should I put an air choke at
the end of the run and tie the other end of the air choke directly into the
rig's auto tuner? Also should I install a lightning arrestor at the point
where the feed enters the house (I'll probably drop the feed to the roof and
bring it into the attic. The shack is in a second floor bedroom.) I am
presently studying for my license so any advice would be greatly
appreciated.



Thanks,

Gene
