    That's a great idea to preserve the integrity of your coax.

      It’s been a chore , but it’s finally almost finished . When it cools down I’m gonna hang the coax from the tower to the side of the house .
      Thanks for stopping by 👍

    1/2 inch Heliax is the way to go when running serious power its what you need!!! just make sure you dont use the type with the Foam got to be teflon teflon dont melt foam turns to liquid at 10K

      I’ll have to look at the specs ,, but I’m not sure if they make 1/2 inch Heliax with a foam type dialectic center . But I’m only running close to half that much power (SSB) so hopefully 🙏 no issues

    I'm really surprised how few of you guys use the wireless coax. It will never tangle.
