[TowerTalk] Coax

[Keith Dutson]

If budget is unlimited, use Andrews 7/8 Heliax from station to tower base.
If not, run LMR400 instead.  From there run regular flexible coax up the
rower.  I use Belden 9913F7, but there are many choices of low loss coax
that will be good for this application.

I am putting up a HDX589MDPL US Tower. I want to keep losses low but need to
use something flexible for tower operation. The distance from antenna to
station is 225 feet. I will use N connectors. The antennas are a MonstIR and
a M2 15 el 2m yagi. What are your recommendations?

Thanks, Craig
