The RG-59 thread has been interesting...and leads me to a further
question...why not use cheap 300-ohm TV twin-lead? It even matches at
the Beverage end. Seems like stray pick-up would be marginal, loss
minimal, and you only have to keep it away from other lines and metal
stuff before transforming it to 50-ohm/unbalanced somewhere in the
vicinity of the shack.
