0.2% is only 0.01 dB, that can't be right. Maybe you meant 0.2 dB. The ARRL Antenna Handbook shows about 0.4 dB for 420 feet of 75 ohm 1/2 inch hardline. Paralleling two runs of line does not decrease the insertion loss. Rick N6RK _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
