[Elecraft] Antenna Question

[Mark Tosiello]

Here's what I use for the run up the mast to my HexBeam. The center
conductor is stranded copper, and the jacket is thermoplastic elastomer.
MUCH more flexible than standard LMR-400...thus, the name LMR-400 UltraFlex:

I have a run going up the mast support forming a loop at the HexBeam. About
25 feet of a run of 250 feet of standard LMR-400. Barrel connectors cause
negligible signal loss. Connection is protected by internal "Stuff"
application, and externally by Coax-Seal.
