Default matching 50 ohm line to 75 ohm antenna

I can't remember the numbers, but there is a procedure in either the ARRL
Handbook, or antenna book for doing this. Basically, you have a short piece
of 50 Ohm coax, a short piece of 75 Ohm coax, and then an arbitrary length
of 50 Ohm transmission line.


1/4WL of RG62 followed by 1/4WL of RG59 will give a good
match from 75 ohms to 50 ohms.
