[Towertalk] Damaged Hardline Issue

[widelitz@gte.net (Ken Widelitz)]

I bought some 7/8" heliax that was damaged in shipping. It has some
kinks/dents in the runs and some cuts & tears in the outer jacket. I'm
planning to use this for long runs (250') at 7 - 28 mhz. Assuming the cuts &
tears in the outer jacket are sufficiently resealed, how critical are the
kinks and dents at these frequencies?

I'm not subscribed to the list so please respond directly to
K6LA@gtemail.net. Thanks for your help.
