Probably not at all different. Standard design: 102 feet of 14-gauge
stranded wire, 34 feet of 450-ohm ladder line with a PL-259 at the
bottom. Seems fairly well made.

Now this one W5GI antenna that was mentioned earlier...thing looks to
be built very solid, nice insulated wire after the coax, so it won't
get all corroded and crappy. It uses 31 feet of 300-ohm very
heavy-duty twin lead instead of the ladder line. Seems to play OK for
the horrible way I have it strung up.
