[TenTec] OT 75 Ohm twin feeder

[Bob Good]

Commerical audio cable is typically a  twisted pair in a vinal jacket 
depending on application.  I've never tried the twisted pair for a 
transmission line but my DX-35 almost never saw coax.  It loved the old zip 
cord with one conductor stuck into the SO-239 center hole and the other tied 
to chassis.  circa 1958....... regards,  Bob K4BG
