[TowerTalk] TowerTalk Digest, Vol 260, Issue 2 - OR2800 cable type

[w5wz at w5wz.com]

Paul N1BUG,

I have an OR2800, with ~ 400 ft cable run.  270 ft is in conduit 
underground, and then 130 ft up the tower.

I use 12-2 + ground UF direct burial romex in the conduit and up the 
tower for the motor leads, and 2 runs of RG-6 for the pulse counter; 
center conductors for the signals, and the shields are bonded together 
at the top and bottom of the tower, and also at the shack entry single 
point ground system. No cable problems since installation in 2009; 
however I have had to replace the pulse counter in the rotator once.
