Found an Ortronics OR-601002444 Twinax-to-RJ-11 (or screw terminals)
balun in one of my computer junqueboxes.  I'm going to give that a try.
 If it works reasonably well, it shouldn't be too hard to whack the
plastic telephone nonsense off the end and put something more
'radio-like' there.  Thick ethernet phaseouts can be our friend.

Now that scout camp is over with, maybe I can get started on this
beast.  After I sleep for a week....
