Hi,

There are no coax inputs or cables involved with 2 older TVs and 1
VHF/UHF roof TV antenna - so I tried looking for something to split
the antenna's 300 ohm flat wire to two TV sets, each near a different
window. I couldn't find an online source, and younger local RadioShack
and "TV" store people are unfamiliar with them, and the older ones
laugh at a request for such ancient technology. I can't even find a
back of the TV splitter with 300 ohm combined input to 1 300 ohm VHF
output and 1 300 ohm UHF output...

Thanks for any suggestions rec.radio.amateur.antenna folks can give
me.

Radio Shack no longer sells 300 ohm wire? They had two kinds of it as
recently as their 2001 catalog. Certainly they could special order
from their warehouse, if it's not in the store.

50 feet 300-ohm wire, part #15-1174.
100 feet 300-ohm wire, part #15-1175.
40 feet of budget (indoor) 300-ohm wire, part #15-1158.

My 2001 catalog also shows a 300 ohm splitter, part #15-1135. (input
and outputs are all 300 ohm.)
