>    I have a quantity of Andrews cnt 400 coax in my  possesion. I've
checked around the net and many people are using it at  HF,  though both
Andrews and Times Microwave's sites only recomend it  and LMR 400 for 30 mhz 
and
above. I'm not looking for comparable  product recomendations.  I'd like to
know why they would recomend it  for above 30 mhz and make no mention of use
below 30 mhz. I can't see  anything in it's properties that would make it 
unsuitable? For my purposes  it seems ideal to me. Especially seeing as I 
already own the coax. I'm  interested in peoples thoughts. I'd be using  it 
from 160 to 10 mtrs  running 1 kw maximum power on 100 and 150 ft runs. I 
used the Times  Micro  coax calculator and the numbers at HF appear fine to 
me...  what am  I missing?
 
    Umm, there aren't any commercial applications  below 30 mHz? All of the 
action is in VHF and above. Your cell phone, pager,  etc. works on 800 mHz. and 
above so that's what has become important.
