I had antennas confused!
I thought the 10 meter antenna was the 5 Element on that tower...Guess I had it backwards...So need to change that in the other thread!!!!

I used different coloured electrical tape on the ends just as an identifier. I have red,blue,green,yellow,white and of course black. That handles whatever I have.

I currently have Ten antennas so having the correct number of wire ties,colored tape,or other markings on both coax ends is a BIG DEAL.I have Four more going up soon & One coming down.I have a quick disconnect on all of them & the Four new ones will as well.I love not living in an HOA Communist Community.GOD BLESS AMERICA!

now that kinda causes trouble. But yes both ends must be color coded match

Time to bribe someone’s grand-daughter to go make grandpa’s coax pretty with colored tape rolls.
