Default matching 50 ohm line to 75 ohm antenna

I can't remember the numbers, but there is a procedure in either the ARRL
Handbook, or antenna book for doing this. Basically, you have a short piece
of 50 Ohm coax, a short piece of 75 Ohm coax, and then an arbitrary length
of 50 Ohm transmission line.


You are thinking of a nonsynchronous balun described he

HOWEVER, this only works for one band (i.e. a monobander...not a
log-periodic covering multiple bands). If the antenna is 75 ohms, why
not simply use 75 ohm coax to the shack and then a tuner to convert to
50 ohms? Seems much simpler and you can normally get free 75 ohm
hardline for the asking at your local cable company (i.e. reel ends).
