Topband: Feedline question for all

[Tom Rauch]

Curiosity has the best of me.
Please e-mail back only to me, not the reflector. From time to time 
there is discussion about feedlines for Beverages and such. 

I'm curious what type of cable most of us use for feedlines on 
**receiving** antennas. CATV 75 ohm or SO-239 type with 50 ohm 
cables?

If you use 50 ohm cables and if much better hardware was readily 
available for a bit less money in 75 ohm impedance, including 
coaxial cables and switching/matching boxes, would you use 75 
ohm cables?

I just wonder if people are being "forced" into using 50 ohm cable 
because, like with the MCM switchbox thing, people don't always 
know where to get 75 ohm hardware.
