That should be a good working number, 0.67 for Vp for 75 ohm or 72 ohm twin
lead.
It is much more narrow than 300 or 450 ohm types, and thus has a differing
characteristic.
There were two USA types made by Amphenol at one time: "receiving" twin
lead of 72 ohms, which was about 1/8 inch wide, and "transmitting" type
which was wider. The conductors on the "receiving" type were about 22 gauge
stranded, and insulation was brown polyethylene. It sold for 2 cents a foot
in 1957, as I used it on my 50 watt Novice station.
