[TowerTalk] Best Place to Buy Low-Loss Coax

[Gary]

It was simply an insertion loss measurement.  We did not record anything, just took a look to see if it was as low loss as advertised.  With all the question I have received I wish we would have done more.

I will add that it was over a year ago, and I do not know the country of origin. If you buy Shireen coax today, will it come from the same factory mine did? I do not know.

I'll do a better job next time.

Measured as in loss,  Impedance and/or velocity  factor ? or all three?

Did you keep a log of the actual results? If so, could you share the actual numbers?
