Topband: Tensioning of RG58 coax for 2-way Beverage

[Milt -- N5IA]

I have installed and used messenger cabled RG-59, RG-6 and 1/2" hardline for 
years.  The current installation at N5BG/NI5T has more that 6,000' of 1/2" 
hardline w/ messenger on poles (three separate runs of 2,000'+) from the 
Beverage collection, signal splitting and selection point to the shack. 
There has never been any indication of the messenger wire inducing any 
external noise onto the signals.

In all cases with these three varieties of cable, the messenger is NOT 
common with the shield.  The messenger wire is totally isolated and 
insulated from the coaxial shield.

Mis dos centavos.

I can imagine some installation scenarios where the messenger cable might
pick up noise that coax alone would not. But would that *always *occur? The
messenger cable is, after all, in the same location as the coax shield.
