[Elecraft] Co-ax for the K2

[N2TK, Tony]

 You can slip the black coax inside a white tube such as white plastic
tubing at Home Depot for water lines. Or use white RG6. It is low loss and
even though 75 ohm it will work quite well. I use it for 80 and 160M with
1500W. I don't think it will last as long outside as coax made to be UV
resistant, but it may solve your problem.

Greetings,

 

Can anyone recommend a WHITE coax for antenna lead of about 40-50' ?  My XYL
is very fussy about wires showing and black sticks out like a sore thumb.
Would the coax used by TV cable installers work ok?  I'm only running 100 W
max.  That's the only white coax I've seen.

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

73's,
