Description: Transmission lines, coax, ladder line, etc.
Ham radio operators often use several types of transmission line at their station. Coaxial cable is pretty much a standard for VHF and UHF applications, but HF operators also rely on coax for its ease-of-use. Many hams also use ladder-line or other open feedlines for their low-loss characteristics. Antenna feedpoint characteristics, environment, tuner/coupler and radio inputs all must be factored when choosing transmission lines for ham radio stations. Here are some great websites for investigating the right line for your station.

Transmission line pass-through panel project by K7PEH. Here is a project in which the author built a pass-through box allowing coax and ladder-line runs to go through the wall to the outside.
