Topband: RG-6 questions

[Mike Waters]

Rick,

This has been discussed here in the past. IIRC, the consensus was that most
name-brand F6 and RG-6 coax with a CCS center conductor has a sufficiently
thick coating of copper for 160m. The difference between solid copper and
CCS is well under 1 dB.

Type the following into Google to access some of that info:

73, Mike
