[TowerTalk] hardline bending radius

[K7LXC at aol.com]

>  Does anyone have a good idea of minimum bending radius for  the 1/2 inch 
cable TV hardline? I have been told anything from 5" to 50". I  believe 5" 
is way  too sharp but 50"??? I sure that 50" would not cause any  problems 
with the cable but ...
 
    I recollect that the minimum bending radius for all  coaxes is 6 times 
the diameter. For 1/2" RG-8, that'd be 3 inches.
