[TowerTalk] Coax for crank up towers

[James C. Hall, MD]

Hi Brad:

My crank up tower is 150 feet away from the shack and I use LMR-600 from 
the single point ground to an antenna switch at the base of the tower. I 
use Davis Bury-Flex for runs up the tower and in close to the radios. 
This arrangement works great. I added a 6M yagi this past year and 
simple plugged it in to the antenna switch. I used LMR-400UF because I 
had it around; I would not hesitate to use Bury-Flex with this as well.

I may re-think plugging the 6M beam into the switch and just run LMR-400 
straight back to the radio as a separate run of cable.
