[Lowfer] Cat 5 cable

No crap??? I certainly can install this conductor. Now on the ground screen
that no one replied to; is it going to help if I ground my radials to the
final amp ground??? I have over 3000' of radials in my 1/4 acre yard and it
would be interesting if they would up the efficiency of my loop. Give me
some time on this as ya'll know how fast things get done here with the
family nagging me to do their stuff first.

Thanks for the technical answer Bill.

Mike R,

>Loop out of Cat 5??? I have several hundred feet of the stuff.

Well, I was kidding but 8 runs of #24 has twice the running diameter of one
#12. (And it's the diameter that counts when it comes to Skin Effect) The
performance depends on the skin effect and proximity effect which may be
fairly low with this blend of twisting. You're elected to the 'trying it
out' project!
