I used a small TV antenna, fed with 300 ohm ribbon through a homebrew 1/2
wave coaxial balun made from RG-11/u to make a 4 to 1 jobber. Worked great
with my Ten Tech transverter on six meters.

Years ago I did a similar trick with 2 meter AM phone and another type of TV
antenna.

So the answer is yes....however...now a days you normally find 70 ohm TV
coax and a balun up on the antenna. That Balun will not take much power.
Ten watts not a problem, over that....well. And you won't need a balun.
Just hook the coax to the rig. Take the slight SWR and don't sweat it.

BUT again....most to all TV antenna's are NOT cut to the ham bands.....
