[Boatanchors] Coaxial cable question

If you want some coaxial cable that literally lasts
for decades then you want to take a look at Heliax
made by Andrew.  I have a number of runs of 1/2 inch
Heliax that have been up for over 35 years and the
coax was used when I got it.  The attenuation per foot
is still well within the original specifications.  I
also have a number of newer runs of Heliax as well.

Since I got the Heliax for free I use it from 1.8 MHz
to 432 MHz.  To use anything of lesser quality would
actually require me to have to purchase the product.

Remember that Heliax is used for commercial
installations that are often in place for decades.

That depends upon the initial quality of the cable and
