I appreciate all the replies. Shadetree, you have given me a lot of information, and I had no idea this was such a process! You guys have been very helpful. I have decided to do a lot more research before committing to anything quickly. I'll keep you posted as to my progress.
I was hoping you were closer to florida because i have about 1600 feet of 1/2" hatdline. Unfortunately its expensive to ship not to mention a pita.
Ahh, thanks for the info. Looks like some nice Coax.
At a couple bucks per foot and connectors costing up to $35 EACH you bet it is nice cable. LOL
It really is NICE cable however but generally overkill for 11m. Commercial users use it on VHF and UHF because of it's low loss. I use it pretty much exclusively however in another lifetime I was in broadcasting and was able to source a bunch of used cable for free along with a bunch of connectors. Even the cheapest cable would have actually cost me more. LOL
That sounds like it was a great opportunity at the time, it's nice when those things happen in a life
Yeah I am usually at the OTHER end of the stick.
I currently have (10) antennas & at least (4) more going up soon & all of them have a Barrel Connector on the cable coming out of my shack wall for a quick disconnect at that point.Same with my rotor cable.If lightning strikes I want it to remain outside of my home perion not just my shack.
