There is no issue, really. Hooking up 50 ohm coax to a 75 ohm anteena only
provides an SWR of 1.5:1, which is not excessive.
From a student's point of view, most of the discussions on the subject
start out with titles such as the importance of matching antenna to feed
line. A 50% error or 25% deviation does not seem trivial.
But from a practical standpoint, as 75 ohm coax is readily available,
wouldn't it be better to use that?
