[net.audio] cable types and lengths for FM antenna

luigi@hplabs.UUCP (Luigi Semenzato) (08/16/83)

I apologize if this has been brought to the net recently.
I live in Palo Alto, California, and FM reception is pretty bad
in my house, so I was thinking of installing an outdoor antenna.
There is some cable already installed, of the flat 300 ohm type.
It extends for a length of about 50 feet. My question is: should
I replace it with 75 ohm coaxial cable, or is that good enough?
Thank you.
