[TowerTalk] Low Loss 400, You get what you pay for

[Adam Shirley WJ4X]

I also would throw Bury Flex in the running, it's what I use for 
everything 440 and down. I have a run of Jefe 400, and it works well on 
HF, but as far as measured spec, I have no clue, but it does appear to 
meet it's velocity factor, at least to the extent I can test with an MFJ 
269. (good enough for Amateur work.. HI HI) I use the Jefe with an OCF 
dipole, so I couldn't attest to it's vhf and up performance, but a lot 
of people use it  for wireless networking.

What's nice about the Bury Flex is the ability to use it for a rotator 
loop and home run it to the shack with no breaks between the antenna and 
the radio. Plus the material the jacket is made of seems to pull through 
conduit better, and is said to stand up to sunlight well. (I plan on my 
Bury Flex in conduit to last forever HI HI)

I'd buy from Steve again, he's a nice guy on top of having good prices 
and quick shipping.

73!

P.S. Remember to waterproof the foam dielectric coax cables very very well.
