Hi Tom,
That's not a good Idea. 30 Ohm line is balanced and if you coil it up like
that you will distroy the balance of the Line and it will not work well.
But who know you could try it
I would suspect that the Losses would be very high in that type of situation
and you'd be better off with a G5RV type feed system. than coiling the 300
ohm line.
