I'm putting up a pair of inphase broadside pennant receive antennas. I
would like to use type 6 (75 ohm) coax to phase the antennas and then use RG
8 (50 ohm) coax from the junction box into the shack. Assuming correct
matches at the antennas, I beleive the mismatch will be 50/37.5 or an swr of
about 1.33:1. How detremental will this be on the receive signal? Is it
bad enough for me to insert an unun to improve the match? Thanks for any
help.
