Hi Mike,
Obviously I had computers on my mind...
Yes, of course I meant to say quad-shield RG-6 CATV cable. I'll provide the
manufacturers and part numbers in a subsequent e-mail, but its just typical
inexpensive ebay RG-6 CATV cable.
Inexpensive RG-6 with a copper clad steel (CCS) center conductor is much more
widely available than solid copper, especially in desirable options such as a
tough polyethylene (PE) jacket and flooded RG-6. CCS looks like a reasonable
choice except for very long cable runs on 160 and 80 meters. A copper clad
center conductor may be a problem if a device (e.g. a preamp or relay) is
remotely powered through the coaxial cable.
