[VHFcontesting] crankup tower, multi band antennas, and coax

[VE7HR]

I am doing something on a slightly smaller scale.  
Hoping to do 2M,222,70cm and 1296 on one feed line with a quadplexer on both ends.  
After a long wait the quadplexers arrived I swept them and returned them to manufacturer.  I have hope they will be returned  meeting specification. 

Curious to see what they experts have to say.  


Thanks
Dave
