Yep ... been there, done that .. more close to 300 ohm -- or 200 ---
varies, of course, with the content/size of wire versus separation distance
and dielectric content of insulating material (of course -of course -of
course) --- High power capability? YOU BET .. what size wire is running
your 200 watts of incandescent lighting over your rigs?

Subject: [Antennas] zip line
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.
Anyone have experience with the lamp cord antenna line?
