Hi everyone,
I have built a antenna for use with my air band radio (for checking atis). It works OK, but I think it will work far better on my roof.
If I only use this for receiving, how important is it to use 50ohm cable? My feedline will be about 10 meters. I already have some RG6 running up to the roof for the TV antenna, and am thinking of using it for this radio. Would I lose very much power thought the mismatch?
Thanks
Mark
