Do not construct the antenna portion from 300-ohm twin-lead or the doubled-up wires will skew the feed-point impedance match, nullifying the design signal gain. Thus you would need to split the twin-lead down the middle for the antenna portion which results in 2 splice-connections for their ends anyway = nothing to be saved. Be sure to view the 3-D video of the antenna for loop relationship, as poor spatial concepts caused the prior confusion (link to video in previous thread).
