As I recall from the practice of years past, 300 ohm was the only way to
hook up to a TV or FM broadcast antenna. There was both the flat variety,
and a round design. The round type greatly reduced the rain / snow
degradation as the "field" was completely within the line, and it was much
stronger.  Maybe someone still has some of that tucked away.

Hi Joe,

 

Have as look at the reviews of this bi directional Beverage.  I have been
involved with the design and testing for the past 11 years.  The ease and
convenience of working with low cost RG-6 for all antenna elements is a
blessing.
