GB> 300 ohm twinlead question

[Glen Zook]

A good grade of "normal" TV twinlead will take at
least 300 watts CW.  The "heavy duty", foam filled,
will take a KW or more.  Now, 300 ohm will NOT match a
dipole but will match a folded dipole for resonant
antennas.  You will have to use a tuner on all bands,
all the time, if you use 300 ohm balanced feed.

How much power can I safely run through a good grade
of 300 ohm television twinlead that I'm using to feed
an inverted V or dipole??
