[TowerTalk] Skinny QRO coax jumpers for station interconnection

[Grant Saviers]

RG142 will handle the power but the center conductor is silver plate on 
copper clad solid steel (SCCS).  RG400 is a more flexible choice as it 
has a stranded center, silver over copper, but given the double braid 
shield and TFE insulation it is still stiffer than RG8X.  I use soldered 
PL's since the TFE is very heat resistant.

Or get them made to order, not bad prices considering what the raw cable 
cost is per foot.

i think they will put whatever connectors you want on each end.
