Barry:
Unless you measure excessive losses on each run (using your MFJ259, etc.)
after you disconnect each antenna, I would keep the coax in place. It's only
another coupla years until you relocate. When you move chances are you'll need
differing coax lengths which you could cut from fresh reels of the stuff in
2009.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Should I replace the coax?
Planning some redecorating on the tower (TH7 stack coming down, C31XR
going up, replacing broken 40m Yagi, etc.) this summer. The coax runs,
some RG213 and some LMR400, are about 15 years old. Would I see any
significant benefit by replacing them? It will all be coming down in
about 2 years, anyway, as I'll be relocating at that time. Worth the
extra work and expense, or not?
Tnx,
Barry
