[TowerTalk] Coax Recommendation

[M. Kent Miller]

I use DavisRF Buryflex for all of my coax runs going to 12  HF antennas, with some of the runs exceeding 600 feet. I have been very pleased with its performance and durability.

  I was thinking of getting DavisRF BuryFlex. I've never used it, but it 
  got good reviews on eham.net.

  > I am going to change out antennas on the tower this fall/winter and I thought it would be a good time to replace all the coax as well to the beam and dipoles.  I have collected a lot of coax over the years but it is old...and a lot of it has been rolled up for years.  I do have a partial spool of RG-8U from about 20 years ago that has never been off the roll (Saxton Brand - 200 feet).  I just don't feel good about putting it on the tower.
