checked around the net and many people are using it at HF, though both
Andrews and Times Microwave's sites only recomend it and LMR 400 for 30 mhz
and
above. I'm not looking for comparable product recomendations. I'd like to
know why they would recomend it for above 30 mhz and make no mention of use
below 30 mhz. I can't see anything in it's properties that would make it
unsuitable? For my purposes it seems ideal to me. Especially seeing as I
already own the coax. I'm interested in peoples thoughts. I'd be using it
from 160 to 10 mtrs running 1 kw maximum power on 100 and 150 ft runs. I
used the Times Micro coax calculator and the numbers at HF appear fine to
me... what am I missing?
Umm, there aren't any commercial applications below 30 mHz? All of the
action is in VHF and above. Your cell phone, pager, etc. works on 800 mHz. and
above so that's what has become important.
