[Lowfer] Medfer TX Loop Question(s)??

[Ashlock,William]

Hi Mitch,

Do you have any numbers for the Rac on the RG-8 shield? On a TX loop, 1 ohm
over a length of 200 ft is significant. For it's intendend useage, 1 ohm is
trivial.

Have been using this for several years in my large loops Bob, and you're
right, it works very well - besides being weatherproof.
Using RG58/U and RG59/U.
