It matters a little because you lose power due to the mismatch.
In principle, you lose 5.7 dB when transforming 50 to 75 Ohms or vice versa.
While not a lot, that is enough to make a noticeable difference with a small
antenna or poor receiver. With a Beverage and a good receiver, no problem.
Burying a cable in a garden hose or the like almost guarantees much of the
cable will spend most of its life in water. It isn't trivial to keep it
dry. Conduit will allow easier replacement if it has to be run under an
area that you can't easily replace it in, or it can provide some physical
Chuck, I stand corrected. For our hobby purposes, 50 vs 75 ohms doesn't
seem to matter, and 75 Ohm cable is much easier and cheaper to find than RG
58 50 Ohm cable! Walt

Belden 8215 is RG6 and is 75 Ohms, not 50 Ohms.

For me, I'm also hearing weakly, a cochannel. Wasn't sure who it was
High, Jim! I think you have little to worry about no matter what you
choose, electrically, at least. The more important issue is durability.
Depending on what I'm doing, I use different coax cables. Lengths
shouldn't be an issue, either. We experimented with lengths up to 1000' at
Grayland
Haven't seen any response to this, James, and am probably not going
to be much help.
I've just used RG58 variants for up to 100' in permanent
installations around the yard, 10 to15 years in some cases. One of
them runs through about 70' of rigid PVC electrical conduit IPEX

briefly):

Congratulations on the KION 1460 verie!! I'll always remember them as KDON but
it is only one call letter off.I sure hope taht you are correct about the
stations being more friendly to reception reports. I DID get a response to my
QSL request from KHAT 1210, but to my disappointment, it
I am curious as to what type of coax everyone uses for DKAZ antennas and
also general international shortwave band listening dipoles?
It's time to revamp my antennas and I want to use the right cable that will
last for a while.
I have read that RG-8U is good for long runs of a 100 to 150

Had one of those nights when I woke up at about 2:30 am.
On 1060 I was hearing Spanish music and talk with an unusually load and
clear signal. At the top of the hour, I heard "this is KDYL South Logan
Utah" and back to more music.
