Hi Mike, Obviously I had computers on my mind...
Yes, of course I meant to say quad-shield RG-6 CATV cable. I'll provide the manufacturers and part numbers in a subsequent e-mail, but its just typical inexpensive ebay RG-6 CATV cable. Inexpensive RG-6 with a copper clad steel (CCS) center conductor is much more widely available than solid copper, especially in desirable options such as a tough polyethylene (PE) jacket and flooded RG-6. CCS looks like a reasonable choice except for very long cable runs on 160 and 80 meters. A copper clad center conductor may be a problem if a device (e.g. a preamp or relay) is remotely powered through the coaxial cable. 73 Frank W3LPL ---- Original message ---- >Date: Wed, 23 Jan 2013 19:56:40 -0600 >From: Mike Waters <[email protected]> >Subject: Re: Topband: Measured RG-6 Loss: Solid Copper vs. Copper Clad center >conductor >To: topband <[email protected]> > > Hello Frank, > > Thank you for this, but you meant "quad-shield" instead of > "quad-core", didn't you?
