Looking for suggestions of what feedline to use on the 70' tower. HF beam antenna that rotates. Total length of feedline to the radios would be 100'. Have been told to use LMR400 or RG123. Need to tr

Matt, Either Coax RG213 or LMR400 will work. The LMR can work as a rotor loop but is not as flexible as the RG 213 . Depending on the type of tower TOP you have tubular, Circle or Triangular that wil

Jim, I certainly know there are may choices to choose from when buying coax; unfortunately, cost is a factor that most amateurs have to deal with. I took a look at your QRZ.com page, and I would be w

No need to transition. I just use about 2 to 3 turns of the LMR in about a 12" diameter coil basically laying on the top of the tower. That leaves plenty to absorb 360 degrees of rotation. In broadca
