[TenTec] OT: Question on Coax Cable

[Rick, NJ0IP / DJ0IP]

Tnx Carl.

I just read the reports on eHam.
The stuff looks very good.

For the outdoor piece, I want to buy various lengths with the connector
already soldered and weatherproofed.

However, it looks like this stuff is pretty hefty.  For permanent use.

I just bought a Kelemen dipole (trap dipole for 80/40/20) which I will
install immediately when I get to my mom's house.  Since it's a temporary
installation and probably using a telescoping fiberglass pole, I need
something light to feed it with.  It will be a short run, max 50 ft.  Here I
was thinking about using the CNT-240 and wonder how it compares to RG-58.

I have been using some stuff that is the same size as RG-8 and is called
"buryflex".  It is low  loss and seems excellent.
