[TowerTalk] USING 72 ohn HARD LINE

[DanW8KMX at aol.com]

Hello to all:
I have a TH^-DXX antenna that, with a hairpin (Beta) match, is designed for 
aprox 50 ohm coax.

I have about 2600 ft of 1/2 inch 72 ohm hardline that I will use to feed this 
antenna (about 300 ft + run).

Has anyone experimented with the hairpin match to change feed impediance?
Do you know if I can change the hairpin so as to match the 72 ohm HL closer?

Regards to all

Dan
