[CQ-Contest] Station Re-Build - Coax

[Wayne Kline]

I third  the sugjestion of the RG400   small enough for  all the switching   in a more then one radio setup.

The  tight bend radius the  small diameter make for a clean instlation that coupled with the double shielding   it’s a WIN WIN

Watch  Ebay or other surplus suppliers

Keith:
A couple very similar candidate cables are RG-400 and RG-303. RG-400 is
double shielded while 303 is single.  They're good as interconnects
because they have a small bend radius (about 1"). RG-400 uses
multi-strands of copper for the center conductor; RG-300 uses copper
clad steel.  Either will handle 1500 watts at HF.
