[Towertalk] Distance to tower

[Bill Hider (N3RR)]

Ford,

Check out my website: www.erols.com/n3rr
Click on "All design links" then "Cabling subsystem".
You don't say what frequency you're interested in, but the tables in the
cabling subsystem webpage go from 1.8 MHz to 1296 MHz, so that should cover
you (hopefully).

73,

Bill, N3RR
