If budget is unlimited, use Andrews 7/8 Heliax from station to tower base. If not, run LMR400 instead. From there run regular flexible coax up the rower. I use Belden 9913F7, but there are many choic

It's 228 feet from the station to the antennas here. I use LMR 400, but plan on going to LMR600 or 900 for the UHF and VHF. If you do the calculations for HF I think you will find the loss in LMR 400

Craig: I like LMR-600 for the long run between your SPG panel and the base of your tower (or wherever you put your antenna switch). Then use BuryFlex with the antenna runs and in close to the rigs. W

The type of coax depends a little on the distance from the shack to the top of the tower. Purists would probably say 9913 or 9914 or the equivalent. I have had excellent results using RG8X for distan

Many will advise AGAINST the use of coax with a mostly air dielectric for an exterior installation (most) because of moisture condensation inside of the coax air space, i.e.. 9913. Better velocity fa

I agree on 9913... After a few lessons with it years ago, I will affirm that it makes great irrigation line when used outdoors. No matter what you do, condensation will build up in the cable and befo

Bend radiis for coax is best if kept at 40X times O.D.Using the filled braid for direct burial is the way to go. Coax heating can be caused by hi SWR.either by too tight a bend or BAD mfg practices.

So for RG-8 the minimum bending radius is 20 inches?!? I don't think so. As I recall, the multiple is 6, giving you a 3" radius. It's higher for Andrew Heliax and other high grade coaxes but I don't

That's about the minimum bend radius for LMR-600. However that is different from the "repeatable" bend radius. If you bend it and the stuff takes a set. IOW it doesn't try to straighten out, it'll st
