[BULK] - Re: [TowerTalk] Replacing coax question

[Keith Dutson]

I'll take a stab at this question.  Certain to be corrected if in error.

Two reasons come to mind.
1. Since RF travels on the inside of the shield, there is less chance for
some to leak out; i.e. lower loss.
2. There is less chance for external RF to interfere with reception.
