RG-303 is a good cable but not as good as RG-400 or RG-142 because it uses only a single shield. Also, I would still use RG-400 over RG-213 because it meets his desire for a small O.D. cable and bec
Hi Tony. Harbour Industries is a HUGE leader in the world of high-temp, quality Teflon cables and wires etc. They are the ones who make my RG-142. I personally would stay away from buying cables and
Great choice Tony, you won't regret it. Just do not skimp on the quality of the connectors. The termination of the shields to the shell is critical as to how well the overall cable provides S.E. & im

I know every one is going to have different experiences and luck with towers depending on a dozen factors but for what it is worth I have maintained 3-4 Universal towers (most 70') for over 30 years.
Just think out loud here......if one were very clever and resourceful imagine a custom made RG-X screw-in reducer for a good quality (silver/Teflon full sized "traditional") PL-259 connector that stu
I realize this is getting OT from the original post but if you already own a 2L 40m yagi and are thinking about replacing it because of inadequate F/B consider transforming it into a 2L rotatateable
Once upon a time I found a site that had an awesome online calculator for calculating the inductance of single layer coils where you could specify an insulated wire like #14 THHN along with coil dia,
