I'm looking for the best quality 450 ohm ladder line I can get. I don't need much, but want to feed a loop to a balun. Just wondering if anyone has a recommendation from what they have used and who they bought it from?

Well, the easiest thing to do is buy an antenna from MFJ that has 100 feet of it. But, I didn't know how good the quality was. I've seen some use 16 gauge, some use 14 gauge.

IMD262, the 600 ohm stuff looks really cool, but is not stealthy enough for my HOA zoned QTH.

I may just end up buying one of the MFJ antennas and cropping what I need from it. I think the one I was looking at with 100 feet of ladder line was only around 49 bucks.

Thanks for the links, guys!
