[TenTec] OT: Antenna Problem

[dw]

Over the years I have set for myself three  general rules of thumb on
coax after waisting tons of time on coax issues.
1. I Don't go cheap.  I by good quality low loss stuff.
2. I Go with the shortest length possible (use twin-lead as much as
possible)
3. I Replace it every few years with new stuff

No frustations "knock on wood!!" :)
