My very first ham radio antenna was made from TV twinlead which was
cheap and very accessible back in the 1950's when I started. I made
a 40m folded dipole and feedline was also twinlead. That I soldered
on a PL-259 connector to attach my Heath DX-35 which was 50-ohm
didn't faze me (it worked fine since the Pi-Net tuned to it). Don't
recall there being any TVI (we lived in the country in an old farm
house). Later on I migrated to VHF with Tech. License and built
yagis, but my HF antenna were old reliable and simple half-wave dipoles.
