[TowerTalk] 9913F, etc

Hi Ron,
  You are right about RG-58. In the early 80's i had occasion to feed a half
wave trapped sloper on 40/80 meters. It was hanging off of a 160 ft. tower
and the run was at least 100 ft. It had a low vswr and with 700 watts into
it on c.w. ,it made the coax "warm and limp."
  Considering the low cost of RG-8X, i'd use that these days ,rather than
RG-58, for most applications where RG-58 might be considered.
