The Twinax is shielded twinlead. Like your 300 Ohm twinlead with a shield. It could be useful in some situations.
It probably could be made to work for a half wave loop balun. but would require some unconventional considerations.
In general, coax is better for the half wave loop.

Referring to the 0064 with half-wave balun in previous image.
The input & output of VHF portion was disconnected and powered down.
There is some noise figure advantage in not having a VHF circuit connected to a UHF circuit.
Anyhow, that balun would not work well for VHF.

FYI, will not be logging in frequently for a while.
