[TowerTalk] Faded Color Coding

[Zivney, Terry L.]

I have used the multi-pack of SCOTCH brand colored tape available at
Target stores.
In outdoor usage, the Red has faded severely after a couple of years in
sunlight.
The Yellow,  Green, and White have held up nicely in the same
conditions.
 
I use Red (2) for 20, Green (5) for 15, White (9, no color code for 10!)
for 10,
and Yellow (4) for 40.  I use similar colors for LEDs on the stack
switching boxes
inside the shack, so it is easy to remember which color is which band  I
also use the
same color codes on the control and rotor cables, since there is no
problem mixing up 
a coax cable, a rotor cable or a switching cable.
 
To keep track of the various pieces of coax to the stack switches I use
1, 2, 3, or 4
separate wraps of tape to indicate the top, second, third or forth
antenna in the stack.
With 12 yagis' feedlines on the same tower, some order is needed!
