In the days when the FCC's mobile direction-finders consisted of a
rotatable "Finch" loop, the feedline was Twinax, two conductors within a
single shield resulting in a cable about the size of RG-11, fed into the
balanced antenna input of the receivers in use.

I don't know if the cable or its connectors are readily available these
days.
