[Elecraft] ? ? dipoles

[Edward R Cole]

My very first ham radio antenna was made from TV twinlead which was 
cheap and very accessible back in the 1950's when I started.  I made 
a 40m folded dipole and feedline was also twinlead.  That I soldered 
on a PL-259 connector to attach my Heath DX-35 which was 50-ohm 
didn't faze me (it worked fine since the Pi-Net tuned to it).  Don't 
recall there being any TVI (we lived in the country in an old farm 
house).  Later on I migrated to VHF with Tech. License and built 
yagis, but my HF antenna were old reliable and simple half-wave dipoles.
