[R-390] Small cables

[Barry]

Dave,

I think you're correct and 0.070" is indeed too small.  I don't recall the number I was working with but it seems it was closer to 0.090" but don't quote me on that.

Sorry for the misinformation.  I think I may still have a very small amount of the coax I had.  I should go measure it.

Thanks,
Barry - N4BUQ
