[TowerTalk] Tram Coax

[Gary K9GS]

Hello Larry,

I purchased some of the following:

http://www.air802.com/home.php?cat=430

I've only been using it for a couple of months but it appears very well made 
and you certainly can't beat the price.  I'm using it on HF so can't comment 
of the VHF+ performance.  Standard Amphenol PL-259 (solder) connectors work 
just fine.  Please keep in mind that this is rather stiff cable due to the 
way the center conductor is constructed, aluminum with a copper plated 
exterior.  The other thing I noticed is that you have to be VERY careful no 
not nick the center conductor...the aluminum core will break rather easily 
if you accidentally score the outer copper plating.

73,

Gary K9GS
