[Elecraft] Random Wire???

75 ohm cable is used for terrestrial TV. 75 Twin feeder can also be
obtained.

Don't forget 50ohm cable and connectors can also be obtained in a ethernet
10BaseT context. In an emergency (eg nothing better) an old 50ohm ethernet
terminator resistor can be used directly on the back of a QRP BNC socket.
The terminators also make great BNC covers.
