Big antennas, high in the sky, are better than small ones, low.

Gene -- And others who asked:
Plymouth Rubber Co., Inc., Canton, MA, makes a product they call Premium
85 CW, catalog Number 4240.
It is 3/4 inch x .0085 in. x 66 feet (19 mm x ,216 mm x 20 m) and the
CW stands for Cold Weather. They say it is good to ZERO degrees F (18
degrees C).
By the way, Plymouth also makes "BishopSeal" a product like CoaxSeal, but
in a wider roll, and widely used in the cable TV industry (which is where
I learned about it). I just LOVE BishopSeal and use it on all of my
splices: tape, BishopSeal, tape.
