Why does it screw things up ??
I am curious, since running the cables inside my tower is not an option
since the tower is kept down when I'm not QRV....it will go up and down many
times a week.
Just working DX with an antenna is not proof that it is working as well as
it could, but my cables just hang from the top and it seems to play well
enough....I seem to be able to work most DX I can copy. Been working for 3
years. What is the thesis here ??
