[TowerTalk] Summary: Recent feedline query

[Pete Smith]

I received a number of direct responses to my recent inquiry about a 
cost-effective improvement over RG-213 for recabling my tower.  A number of 
people suggested Buryflex, while a roughly equal number suggested 
LMR-400.  but after musing for a while on the attenuation versus cost 
tradeoff, I've decided to go (again) with RG-213.  I don't need the 
buriable jacket (the run to the tower is CATV hardline), the extra cost of 
LMR-400 and its stiffness are issues for me, and 9913's air dielectric and 
risk of subtle failure through water infiltration aren't very attractive.

Thanks everyone for their input.
