[TowerTalk] 80 meter dipole

[Tom Osborne]

The coax run is about 90 feet or so - maybe 100.  One other thing - the 
wire I am using is some CAT 5 cable and it has 6 wires in it.  I just 
stripped and wrapped the wires on the end where I hooked the coax and 
the other end also.

The coax I am using is some I got at the local Good Will store here.  It 
is brand new, still on the roll, Amphenol TFC-T10 coax. There was about 
1/3 of the roll left and cost me $6.  73
