Gilles,

I Used 50 ft of the cheapest TV twinlead (300ohm) I could find because it was
a
temporary test. The antenna worked so well that I left it up from 83 to 96
through all kinds of weather including harsh Alberta winters. I never
noticed any noticeable SWR changes with weather, and when I took it down
I saved the twinlead for future use -- it was as good as new!
Bon Chance!
