I can supply owls that will also find well water. Statistically speaking, they work 101.54 % of the time. Biologically, they crap when over water. Engineering wise, they need calibrating every few ho
Hi all, my apology for lateness in getting back on this. All dealers were polled and given that some may have short or longer lengths not reflected in their system (they need to go check), I am listi
Hi, I have to agree with Grant, we do a lot of cables for a Nycoil assembly house and never have we supplied hard line. The RF cable needs only to be low loss coax due to the short length vs. accepta

Hi Chris, Tnx for the feedback. Yes, Bury-Flex (Tm of DAVIS RF Co.) has almost exactly the same low loss at HF as 9913F7 (which has the same loss as LMR-400UF, up thru 2.8 GHz, close thereafter). The

Hi John, I can't answer all your questions but having had towers and verticals in a wooded area for over 30 years, I'd like to ask you a couple questions and then give you a gut observation. First, w
Hi Tony, I am a cable design engineer and also a ham for 50+ years. I designed Bury-Flex Tm, thank you for using it. It is an extremely popular coax used also by NASA, Lockheed Martin, etc. What you

Hi, I potentially have a large project and need around 575 lbs of varied OD, drawn, not extruded, alum. tubing. Seeking a mfr. vs. a distributor. Googling has not rendered much but for extruded. Tnx
Joe, thanks so much. We used to have a Ryerson in NH, not too far from me but they went out of biz and I thought that was it with them. And for some reason did not see them in my searches. Tnx again,
