Ever noticed that luck favors the knowledgeable?

Multiples of 1/2WL length will work for any characteristic
impedance. The 300 ohm twinlead is less lossy than 72 ohm
twinlead. If 64 ft. is a convenient length for his feedline,
300 ohm twinlead is a good choice for a 1/2WL dipole probably
not requiring a tuner. An added advantage is that it may also
work well with a tuner on some of the higher frequencies.
