[TowerTalk] Loss of wet RG-213

[Kim Elmore]

I'd be surprised if there are any definitive numbers on this because there are so many variables, not the least being the purity of the water that has entered the transmission lined. All I've ever heard is that it's "bad."

The cable runs some 150 feet up the tower and  and the water must have been coming along the cable.NOW I have been trying to find definitive numbers of estimated loss for a wet RG-213 at, say 28.5 MHZ.  For some reason, no luck on the internet anyway.  Although I intent to change the cable, I would like to know what this does for the time being.
