[TowerTalk] INVERTED L and TOWER SWITCH

[ersmar@comcast.net]

Jose':

     Congratulations and welcome to Topband.  I'd run the coax up the tower to the switch.  I can't imagine why you would NOT do this.  Loss at Topband is minimal for the extra coax length to run up the tower.  And you'd lose a lot of convenience, I imagine, having a separate coax outside of the antenna switch group.
