A little digging & should be able to find a spool, even
the more retro thin stuff. It does have the advantage of
less loss especially at UHF, also cheaper than coax.
We used it in problem UHF installs when the customer was
too cheap to by an amp.

I was always under the impression that the plain flat twin was lossy at UHF frequencies, especially then wet.
Milwaukee was a UHF town from 1953, so there was a lot of outdoor antenna installations. A VHF conical and a UHF corner reflector. Two lines running down to the set. A flat 300 ohm from the VHF antenna and a tubular 300 ohm from the UHF antenna.
