There is nothing wrong with using twinlead. It's cheap, light weight
and easy to install.



When wet, it can become much lossier than RG-58. See

Roy;

True. Remember I said I don't use the stuff so I forgot that little
tidbit. I also try not to use RG-58 for anything other than a mobile
antenna and I am trying to get away from that also.
