[TowerTalk] Marking cables for identification

[john at kk9a.com]

There are so many options. At my station I just mark the cables and or  
the connectors using a fine tip oil based paint pen. The paint has  
held up well for me on everything except for Teflon coax.  In April I  
made six RG400 jumpers and I used Panduit inkjet wire labels to mark  
them. THey were easy to make once I found the template and so far the  
labels are still nicely stuck on the indoor Teflon cable and they look  
very elegant.

  I'm involved in building a fairly large station. There will be many  
coax, rotor, and control cables coming in to a main entrance of a  
building. It would be helpful if there was a good method of marking  
the cables to identify them for routing and troubleshooting purposes.
If you don't mind, would you please share your techniques?
