Yes, it does depend on the antenna, to wit, diameter of the elements & spacing
between the elements. Can be made lower or higher than 300 ohms. There's
nothing "sacred" about 300 ohm Z. It was a match for 300 ohm TV twinlead in
the older daze.

Depends on the antenna.
A folded dipole, out in the open, with no matching, is a
bit less than 300-ohms.
