Sounds like some poor sod who blew his wad on the tower and beam, but
then tossed those couple of dB antenna gain out the window by buying the
absolute cheapest coax he could find. All he really bought for his few
kilobux was a little bit of directivity and likely not even that, if the
coax also had minimal shield coverage.
