Be careful to get the right one.
The 75Ω cable is wound anti-clockwise so optimise for Northern Hemisphere systems. Make sure you get the Southern Hemisphere version, especially if you plan to use it at latitudes below (ie higher nominal value) -35 degrees (South). PE sits at approx -34-deg S, so anything further south might produce a little blue shift if you use an analogue tuner or CRT TV.

I'm not entirely sure why I said that but at the time it seemed appropriate.

Oops. Left the d off "opitmise". My phat phingers on the phone again. Sorry, abzo. Didn't mean to confuse you. Hope you got the Southern Hemisphere cable.

Oy. One mitsake after another. Where's autocorrect when you need it?
