Jim, this is also from your white paper. Cables such as RG-223, RG-141 and RG-400. All double shielded and the size of RG-58. Q: I have a high power, multi-transmitter station. Can I use RG58 or RG8X

It's a matter of the shield resistance, as well as the density and the uniformity of the shield. First, as I noted early on, RG-numbers have been next to meaningless for nearly 50 years. We have to s

I bought off Ebay 100' of '400' 50ohm coax. Thinking it was LMR-400.  This has got to be the stiffiest, lightest weight, cheapest connector, crap i have laid my hands on.  Where can i buy REAL LMR400

There's nothing magic about LMR400 that justifies its cost for operation on the HF bands. For use below 100 MHz, Davis 213 is as good, of good quality, and a lot less expensive. For more about coax,

As I remember, LMR-400 is pretty light! With a foil shield and little braid, and it's copper clad aluminum center, and the highly porous foam, it is pretty light. And you are correct! It's not very f

RG213 is not a spec, it's a very broad generic description. There are RG213s built with thin copper braid and others with heavy copper braid. The loss in cable is a direct function of how much copper

To get from either station to the top of the tower here is 228 feet. I switched to LMR-600 at $1.29 a foot. I have a bunch of LMR400 and 600UF that I've found does not hold up well when out in the el

Hi y'all, the receive side of the coax loss is not nearly as bad as the transmit side. This is because of all the back ground noise on the HF bands. The noise from the heavens alone is on the order o

Remember, on the receive side the desired signal may go down 3db but the noise also goes down 3db. That's why you can get away with inefficient Rx antennas like beverages, pennants, EWE's, K9AY's, et
