[TowerTalk] Coax

[Keith Dutson]

9913-flex (Belden 9913F7) uses foam rather than air dielectric.

Looking for some 9913-flex or Lmr-400 ultra-flex. About 700 to 1000 ft.

I won't let 9913 near my tower<:-))
Lightening blw off the water proofing up on top and I had water running out
of the rig less than 15 minutes later.

I purchased two 1000 foot spools of LMR 400 and like it.  It's easy to work
with and will make tighter bends safely than 9913.I think I have about 1500
to 1600 feet in use at present.

I purchased mine from Texas Towers.
I think it's bury flex that some of the guys have been saying is real good
coax. Price wise I think it's less than LMR 400 which is less than 9913.
