I believe that the slang name of regular 117 volt lamp cord is called =
"zip cord." The kind where you have two parallel wires carrying the =
power. I once read that it can be used as balanced line and is about 50 =
ohms. I believe that in Joe Carr's antenna book he said you could use =
zip cord out to where you wanted your dipole and then just rip it down =
the middle and create a dipole. =20
Anyone have experience with the lamp cord antenna line?=20
