[TowerTalk] Romex for rotor

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

The difference in construction between NMB and UFB is profound.  The NMB 
I have seen has a jacket around individual conductors, each of which is 
covered by what seems to be paper insulation.  The UFB is entirely 
molded, including the inside insulation, and there are no voids for 
water to get in.
