[NCC] excess coax

[Jon Kovacs]

Bob....thanks for your two cents worth......came home from work early today
and spent whole afternoon working on shack and moving coax outside.   No
problems what so ever..   Put antenna box under our deck, coiled up each of
the   4 coax lines at base of tower, ran enough under deck to hook into
box, ran main line from box to radio room and all good to go.    I'd even
say everything is tuning up better???       40 dipole, 80 dipole up 80 feet
on tower, Alpha Delta 160,80,40  up at 65 feet, and my Sky Hawk tri bander
up 100'.     Lot of work but wanted all that coax out of radio room and
under deck.....one coax coming in is enough..

Thanks again Bob...
