Two 50-ohm cables will work as a 25-ohm cable, as suggested. However, if the
author is using semi-rigid cable it probably is for quite a high-frequency
application and you may have trouble making connections to it which will
be clean enough.

Most manufacturers of semi-rigid cable sell it in a variety of impedances.
The Precision Tube catalog shows cables from 15 to 95 ohms, and Micro-Coax
from 10 to 95. Both have 25-ohm cable. There are many others -- I just
have these two catalogs handy.

     Precision Tube: (215) 699-5801
     Micro-Coax: (215) 489-3700
