Yeah, I bought a lifetime supply of twin-lead last year for $12 or so from Radio Shack. I think after the makeover they aren't even carrying antenna stuff anymore. Its no longer in my local store (neither are the baluns, BTW) and the website says out of stock. RIP RS!
The twin-lead has come in handy for other uses like custom FM dipole antennas for my radios but I still have about 80'. I'd send you some but shipping cost would probably be about the same as buying local.

As for trying it on a flat uhf mine is out since it uses a pcb balum which is a true 1 to 1 75ohm connection. Thanks for the tip!

Good point, I hadn't thought about the impedance. I'd like to look up the specs on your UHF antenna, what make and model are you referring to here? Thanks.
