Re: Connecting 16th century antenna wire to 21st century coax



Some matching transformers don't require the 300 ohm wire to be stripped at
all.  I don't know if they're still available, but basically, the flat cable
went between two screws. The screws had a "star washer that was shaped like
an inverted bowl.  When the screws are tightened, the sharp part of the star
washer would pierce the insulation on the cable and provide a connection to
the inner wires.
