I would opt for the height, and get some used coax somewhere. Try the local tower service companies, they may have something removed from a removed tower, test if for attenuation before buying it. T
Steel is a very poor electrical and thermal conductor, but there is enough of it in the legs of a 6' or more, faced tower to make any additional conductor un-necessary. These are "stock bridge dampe
Sure, they make various sized "N" connectors for various sized coaxial cables. Get the correct connector for RG214/RG-8. RG-214 is tight, RG-8 is a bit loose in the correct connector. (The center wi
The best! I use "Sil-Flow 5" 94% copper, 5% silver 1& phosphorous 1,750 degree melting temperature. I consider such a connection correctly made, (to copper or brass, not steel or zinc) to be superio
