[TowerTalk] Coax Life Expectancy

[Jeff Blaine]

I have buryflex that was bought new, mostly in about 2012.  It was 
initially running on-the-ground-surface, up the tower, and to the antenna.

Since then I've replaced that original tower with 3 new ones. And all 
the in-ground and up-tower runs are now hardline.  But the original 
Buryflex from 2012 is now repurposed, serving new duty as rotor loop and 
along antenna duty.

 From my experience here in KS - Meaning 100+ in the summer and -20 or 
lower in the winter - it's been zero failures; zero problems.   Of 
course YMMV, but if I need more flexible 213, it's probably going to be 
more Buryflex.

Good luck!
