Just recently aquired a small chunck of 3/4 catv jacketed hardline.
I know how to make the transformers and connectors.  I have ICE
lightning protection at the base of my tower which is 100' plus 
from the house.  Question:  do I need to put baluns at that 
lightning protection device on both sides?  I would have 100' of 
catv on each side of it.  Just don't know if the ICE protectors
need to see 50 ohms or not.  Thanks guys.....
