Hi Folks,
   I'm trying to make a rollup j-pole out of 300 Ohm TV twin lead 
wire.   I bought an RG-59 coax cable (with BNC connector), but it is 75 
Ohms instead of the recommended 50 Ohm RG-8X cable.   Would this have a 
negative effect on my antenna? 
Thank you for your advice and help,
-Rob KI4BKE
