Since every antenna has some reactance, a good match is usually 1.2:1, so in any case the end result is always well within acceptable limits. I've seen hams using CATV hard line spool ends with excellent results, the extremely low loss characteristics more than make up for a little SWR, VERY little BTW.
AH, if this was just a run of feedline I would. but since this is a phasing harness doing so could actually mess up the phasing. all the phase harness is 75 ohm rg-11. with 75 ohm (N) connectors. I have been told to keep the interconnect between the 2 sets of harness 75 ohm connectors or bad things happen end up with a impedance bump..
