[Eric Dobrowansky K2WD]

Hi Phil, 



I have used a lot of the Shireen RFC400 cable, a few thousand feet to be exact.  For the price, it can't be beat. As good as Times LMR400 or any of the other knock offs. 



I have six runs going up a tower, and they are formed into a rotor loop just above the tower.  No problems as long as you leave a decent size loop to allow for the mast rotation with minimal movement of the cable bundle.

I recently got an email advertisement from Shireen. How I got on their 
list I'm not quite sure. I took a look at the archives and can see where 
the question of it's quality has been inquired about on numerous 
occasions. I can't seem to find any hard evidence for or against it 
though. Has anyone actually bit the bullet and tried it? They have a 
decent enough price on the RFC 400, 209.00 for 500 feet. Just wondering 
if there is any out there being used yet in ham/tower applications.
