[TowerTalk] Use of 75 ohm coax

[David Robbins]

no experience with the 1/12 matching thing... I just use 75 ohm stuff as-is, no cutting to half wave multiples or any other matching, just slap on a connector and go for it!  ALL my hardline from the shack to the towers is 75 ohm except for the one piece I bought after I couldn't find any more tv cable leftovers.

I am using coax intended for Cable TV use. It's 75 ohms and i am using it exclusively with a tuner. I found this article which may be of interest. http://www.jpole-antenna.com/2015/01/28/using-rg-59-or-rg-6-catv-cable-with-an-amateur-radio-antenna/ 


I especially like the 1/12 wavelength method for a 50/75 match. Anyone with experience with this/
