I have a follow on question from my non-invasive tree attachment question. I am running RG58 through a hedge with the intention of using it as a 2-way Beverage. I am scratching my head as to how to a
For my RG-6 beverage I used a marline hitch spread out over a couple of feet and then taped it up after it was in tension. 73, Glenn - KD0Q I have a follow on question from my non-invasive tree attac
CATV F-6 coax with a messenger line can be had for little or nothing. That's something to consider. All the tension is on the messenger line, and not on the attached coax. The messenger wire can hand
You could use a small Kellums grip (Chinese finger handcuffs) to grab the cable. I know those can be found small enough. The other thing you could try would be to run the RG58 around a thimble (usual
Many thanks to all those who replied to my query regarding the tensioning of RG58 coax for a 2-way Beverage. I managed to find some suitably sized Kellums grips over on this side of the pond, so that
I can imagine some installation scenarios where the messenger cable might pick up noise that coax alone would not. But would that *always *occur? The messenger cable is, after all, in the same locati
I have installed and used messenger cabled RG-59, RG-6 and 1/2" hardline for years. The current installation at N5BG/NI5T has more that 6,000' of 1/2" hardline w/ messenger on poles (three separate r
I think Mike has a point. In TV use, the messenger cable is isolated from the signals flowing thru the interior of the coax. For a Beverage antenna, it's the outside of the shield that picks up the s
Nor would any be expected unless the coax shield became degraded. And in that event, the coax shield would cause in ingress whether the messenger was there or not. 73, Jim K9YC _________________ Topb
I can't believe that an unterminated wire hundreds of feet long in parallel with the Beverage wire and, in close proximity to it, would not have a deleterious effect. 73, Roger Nor would any be expec
