[TowerTalk] Coax Options (for a 5,000 ft. run)

[john nistico]

I want to be able to put both antennas one the same tower on 2 different radios. Each of the 4 towers is going to have a mono band stack of either 2 or 3 six element yagis plus 5 antennas for 80 and 160 so I kind of wanted a feed from each antenna
