i use mainly dipole antennas
my understanding is that dipoles have a natural impedance near 75 ohms
radios and coax for amateur radio are 50 ohm
it is easy to find 75 ohm coax cable to TV
is there a solid reason why we don't use a 1.5:1 transformer at the
radio output and use 75 ohm coax??
too much loss??
what is the loss of 75 ohm cable at UHF and VHF frequencies?
HF frequencies ??
