[Towertalk] Coax recommendations

[kk9a@arrl.net]

I use hardline and Belden RG213  jumpers for most of my antennas.  I had a
run of Cable X-perts RG213 Direct Burial connected to a temporary antenna
which after a direct lightning strike was damaged.  The insulation blew away
in one spot for some reason.  The damage was a couple of feet from the end
so I just shortened it and installed a new connector.  The cable says direct
burial on the jacket, but there was no goo inside to seal any punctures.  I
though direct burial has a goo between the shield and jacket to create a
seal.

Perhaps not.  They do have a direct burial version.

And the Cable Experts CXP1318FX IS indeed a direct burial cable.
