What we have is a transmission line that carries the signal from one direction. If the spacing between the wires varies, then the impedance does. In that case, the F/B ratio can suffer.
The Z ratio of the transformers at each end depends upon this impedance. http://www.w0btu.com/Beverage_antennas.html#How_far_apart 73, Mike www.
