Radio shack has two types of 300 ohm twin lead, one for inside use and one 
for outside use so get the right one.  Also, there is 450 ohm ladder line 
and 300 ohm ladder line on the market at most antenna parts suppliers, 
which are a little better as they don't tend to melt when you give them 
high power.  They may also be lower loss too, but I don't know for sure.
