I am acquiring two used GAP verticals, a Titan and a Challenger.  I have
asked GAP if they may be adjusted to work directly with 75 ohm CATV cable,
or through a balun, here is their less-than-helpful reply (obviously off of
a generic 'talking points' sheet):

"The Titan and Challenger should be fed with 50 Ohm coax.  I'm not sure if
you can run the 75 Ohm with a balun on our antennas.  If you have any other
questions, please let me know."

Anyone here familiar enough with the design of these things to offer a more
helpful response?
