I used 75 ohm for years after getting two broken spools of 5000 feet for
$200. Making the ends was easy and I made mine from copper flare fittings
similar to N4ZR's info.
They worked fine but were a little cranky when I used them on stacks that
had BIP/BOP/TOP/BOT or tribanders, but this would be expected. For general
use you can't beat them. I used mine for Beverages and while this was
overkill as far as loss was concerned, it could be buried and at four cents was
a hell of a lot cheaper than using regular 213 or whatever.
You need only cut off the last foot or so if the stuff has been stored
outside before you attach the ends.
