It sounds like it work, at least until you do the math. Each run still has
the same dB/ft loss.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Double Coax Runs to Reduce Loss?

I was at a hamfest recently and a seller there was discussing how he uses two
equal length runs of the same coax (an LMR type) to halve his losses on a
long
run to a distant tower some 300 or so feet away. His point was that he had a
lot of this type of coax around and therefore it was better to do this
than to
buy something more efficient.
I never heard this before. What does the TT community say?
