It was about a buck a foot back in the '80s but it was great stuff with teflon insulation and silver plated conductors. That was the end of my cable problems and we had the best VHF reception I'd ever seen. Got a source/grade suggestion for something like that? Sounds good to me... I've seen it at West Marine. The key phrase is "Low Loss" cable. Here's one source online with several choices - http://www.radioworks.com/ccoax.html Ham radio nut specializing in antennas. You might want to call him for specific recommendations. Telephone Orders 800-280-8327 Orders and information 757-484-0140 FAX 757-483-1873 Jim will get back to you as quickly as possible, but sometimes it takes a few days. |
