Well between the RG-6 & RG-11 you know which coax will have lower loss. And unless you collected trusted data 20 years ago on the old RG-6 you really will not know if you just had crappy coax and co
I double wrap with 33 or 88 and then cake on a very thick layer of RTV over everything extending past the tape on both ends onto the cable. Keeps the tape from unwrapping and forms a water tight, UV
One thing I have not seen mentioned (maybe I missed it) is the fact that a whole lot of time & effort is going to go into generating a super accurate model for a complex tower and antenna system but
Yup, I understand what you are saying and do not disagree. A clarification please (and this assumes there will be some interaction between tower and antenna worth worrying about).....were you referri
I don't know if this will be of any help to anyone but I have 9 NOS, in sealed bags, Huber-Suhner 4.3/10 "T" adapters available that I will not be needing. They are male DIN "input" to two female DIN
Have a look at some of these cables. https://www.awcwire.com/productspec.aspx?id=high-voltage-coax-15kvdc Gedas, W8BYA Gallery at http://w8bya.com Light travels faster than sound.... This is why some
Pass 10-20 DC amps through it and measure the voltage drop. At 50' long this will give you a good idea of it's resistivity. Of course if you have a trusted low resistance ohm meter (4-wire) you can u
Forgive the OT post but I thought some folks here could use some jumpers that I have some extras of. These are NOS in sealed OEM bags, L-Com P/N CA-NMNMT002, 2' long, "240-series" 50-ohm cable with m
I thought I was all done with these beautiful RG-214 jumpers with N-connectors yet today I managed to stub my foot into another tote in the basement that has 200 more. (25) have been spoken for by a
Some OT trivia but that is where the term "B-Line" came from.......you run you ASSets in a straight line as fast as you can away from a swarm of bees coming at you. BTW, I have had plenty of experien
Sorry for sounding like a broken record but I found one more sealed tote of 200 NOS jumpers as noted below. Price reduced. These are ideal for connecting between rig to PA or PA to watt-meter, PA to
And. the conductors are Silver plated, copper clad steel. Gedas, W8BYA Gallery at http://w8bya.com Light travels faster than sound.... This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
For the RG-142 I should have added. Gedas, W8BYA Gallery at http://w8bya.com Light travels faster than sound.... This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak. 73, Maximo <http://fo
I like using RG-316, silver coated conductors with Teflon dielectric coax. It is small, will handle legal limit at 10 MHz and great for winding lots of turns on small cores. If anyone needs any conta

Lots of variables involved but for what it is worth, before my R8 came down from excessive winds I enjoyed getting comparative signal reports between it (mounted in the clear with base at 15') and a
It will depend on who makes the cables you are comparing. If both are M17 rated then both should be double shielded and use silver coated copper conductors which is good but some manufactures may use
oh, one very important item I forgot to add......the termination at both ends of your jumpers will be ABSOLUTELY critical as to how well your overall shielding effectiveness will be. You have to make
David, I have no personal experience with the M&P coax so I am just going by what I saw on their web page. Some observations: It looks like it has very good initial shielding effectiveness but I wond
I use crimp and traditional clamp type of connectors. I have a question on the proper way or technique that should be used to solder the center pin of N, BNC, and SMA style connectors onto the coax c
