Default How much can the impedance of coax vary from its characteristic impedance?

Well ***Opps****. I took out my contacts already. And I read the cable
Zo as the impedance at the input end. As you can see it says 102.11-
j3.74. I am still going to search out some new RG-59/U...

If you are going to buy new coax, might as well get something decent. I used
RG11 FOAM for a 1/4 wave transformer at 3.8 MHz, and it worked per theory.
