I'm running burryflex (150 ft run) for 80-10 (no 160 here), with the last
30 ft of the 80 being "in the air" to the dipole
I _SERIOUSLY_ considered heliax, but NOT for signal. Look at expected
life span out in the elements. I was, and am, hoping it is a "once and
done" thing (darn rotor has failed, replacement is here - just need to
have someone climb - I can't)
I looked at the lifetime ratings of the small heliax/hardline, and said
"You know, that might be the way to go.."
