Ed:  You can use the new AEA CIA-HF to determine the characteristic impedance of any feedline you like, so long as it is between about 10 and 1000 ohms.  All it takes is a 1k pot on the end of the unknown coax or open wire feedline.  It is all explained in the manual.

OK Press, pretty good explanation. Now all we need is the dialectric
constant, and we can figure out for ourselves the impedence of the
line. 

Thanks

Ed
