BE TOO HIGH OR TOO LOW WHEN THE NETWORK IS ADJUSTED.  IF TOO LOW, THE
OUTPUT WILL BE DOWN, AND NO HARM DONE, ALTHOUGH THERE MAY BE EXCESSIVE
DISTORTION.  IF TOO HIGH, THE TUBES DISSIPATION RATING WILL LIKELY BE
EXCEEDED.  Q WOULD THERE BE ANY PROBLEM IF I WERE TO USE TWO SEPARATE 450
WINDOW LINE FEED LINES TO A SINGLE HALF WAVE SLOPER ANTENNA?  ILL SOON HAVE
STATIONS IN TWO SEPARATE LOCATIONS IN MY HOME WITHOUT ENOUGH REAL ESTATE
FOR A SEPARATE ANTENNA FOR EACH STATION.  A THAT GENERALLY DOES NOT WORK
VERY WELL.  THE UNUSED LINE WILL PROVIDE AN UNDESIRED IMPEDANCE IN SHUNT
WITH THE FEED, WHICH WILL SIGNIFICANTLY CHANGE THE IMPEDANCE ON THE OTHER
LINE.  IF THE UNUSED LINE IS LEFT DISCONNECTED, IT WILL ALSO POTENTIALLY
RESULT IN A HIGH VOLTAGE ON THE OPEN END OF THE LINE.  IT CAN BE EVEN WORSE
