[TowerTalk] Right coax for my station?

[Turner, Bob]

I have 4 lengths of regular 9913 also going around via a rotor loop
also.  It has been up since 1993.  No apparent problems.  Used on 50 MHz
to 432 MHz.

A redesign is in the works.  I'll be using 9913F or equivalent next
time.

	I have used the regular Belden 9913 (air core etc) taped along
with four
	other RG-8 coax cables around the rotor (that is, via a loop to
accomodate
	the truning rotor) for over eight years without failure.  Same
coax also
	goes down the crank up tower flexible run, again taped
frequently with the
	four other cables (and there, also with a run of rotor cable).
No
	failures of it despite frequent up and down of crank up tower.
