input coax.  Does anyone have info on this?

//  Good point.  However 20 - 30 ft. of RG-58/U seems to work ok, has 
less attenuation, less delay, and it costs less.

//   As I see it Beer is a contesting-related topic.  I've received phone 
calls from two persons who currently participate in AMPS who were 
speaking so loudly they sounded like they were running 30db of speech 
compression.  They were sooooo loud that I could lay the telephone 
handset down and use it like a speaker-phone.  Who knows, perhaps "Anchor 
Steam powered" would be a significant advantage in ham contesting?
