50 Or 75 Ohm Coax For Receive Only Application ?
Hello:
Will be putting up a new HF atnenna for Receive-Only, to be used from 30 MHz
on down
Trying to decide on a coax type for the radio to antenna run, about 150
feet.
As some will be buried in soil, want to have a PE jacket.
It appears that when factoring in the PE requirement, and certainly price, I
can
do better, apparently, by picking a 75 ohm coax than a 50 ohm one.
My receivers input is, of course, stamped 50 ohm.
In a practical sense, do you experts believe I would see any difference
between
50 or 75 ohm coax for a receive only situation at the 30 MHz and lower
listening freq's (150 foot coax run) ?
Thanks,
Bob
