Hans,

?

Would there be any problem feeding the antenna and pre-amp with CAT-6 cable?

?

I read an article by a Canadian fellow that CAT 6 is better than coax because:

?

The twisted pairs are naturally balanced and according to him, less prone to common mode problems

The characteristic impedance is 100 ohms

The multiple twisted pairs offer 4 different possibilities of use. i.e. power for the pre-amp, antenna lead(s), T/R protection switch, etc.

?

I am seriously looking at this antenna for 160 meters as I have a small lot and cannot use a proper 160 meter receive antenna.
