I remember good old 'twisted pair' that we used 'back in the day.'  I 
had a Heathkit AT-1 and just bend one wire and stuck it inside the coax 
jack and taped the other wire to the outside of the coax jack.

Who knew about PL-259's and SWR back then :-)  Think the twisted pair 
was about 75 ohms.  73
