LowFERs,

For my new 22Mtr dipole, I chose an outdoors balun setup under the 300
Ohm down lead. The local cable co. "supplied" me with the coax for input
to the basement shack.The coax is the type for burial I believe: having
only a telephone insignia and no nomenclature on the hardened outer
cover. Inside is that sticky stuff on the shielding. Before affixing the
F-connectors I cleaned off the goo w/ alcohol.

So the question: Is this stuff any good? as good as that for regular
cable drop lines (I'm using 50 feet)? I assume it is 75 Ohm, yes?
