Thanks for the info, i don't have any 300 ohm feeder, got some 450 ohm ladder line and 75 ohm twin feeder so i'll have to buy some 300 ohm feeder. I've seen some 300 ohm ribbon cable quit cheap its the lightweight stuff maximum power handling 150 watts so that should do the trick, i'll only be running 10 watts, its a 2 foot boom with the spreaders about 23 degrees, i'll post some photos when its up and running.

Thanks again, MM6SHM Ian.
