Correct Don,
That's what I will try to do with my next 2-meter antenna. As I have a bundle
of 72 Ohms feed lines why not utilize it all the way.

Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] Fwd: Fwd: RG-149: 50 ohm/70 ohm - does it matter?
I wonder why no one has mentioned the fact that the "50-ohm antenna"
is NOT 'etched in stone'.
ANY antenna can be made to have a 75-ohm feedpoint, thus allowing the
use of 75-ohm feedine.
When the transmitter/amp/tuner looks at the feedline, it will be
75-ohms, which MOST GOOD rigs/amps/tuners can easily match.
