[TowerTalk] Can 1/4" or 3/8" Andrew SUPERFLEX be used for a Rotor loop?

[Bill Steffey NY9H]

Did anyone look at the M&P ( Italy) site ?


I've been involved for 20+ years with several divisions of what was CDT 
( Mohawk, Montrose, West Penn Wire  etc) now merged into Belden Corp. 
Observed many braiding & bunching machines in operation.  I always 
understood that many of the best fabricating machines in the wire 
industry were made in Italy.  I drew a conclusion that coax form ITALY 
very well could be the best. That said , I watched several coax 
connector assembly videos provided BY M&P , and was surprised to see 
they suggest you do NOT solder the shield on either N type for PL-259. 
They must believe that the compression is adequate.  Why do I think that 
could be a warming while running that EXPERT KW ??????

thoughts, diatribes , lectures ????
