[VHFcontesting] rover tech - coax

[Paul Kiesel]

I think RG-213 has its place for rover installations.
In the cases where fatigue breaks the coax, one must
look at compromises. RG-213 is a compromise. But, if
you were finding it necessary to repair coax on every
trip, wouldn't it be prudent to consider such a
compromise?
