[SixClub] Thanks to the group and my future plans

[K8RI on 50MHz]

If you are in the tropics I'd sure stay away from 9913.  It has a hollow
core and can be a problem with moisture and rain.

I used it for some years until lightening blew off all the waterproofing on
all the connectors at the top of the tower.  10 to 15 minutes later I had
water running out of the one rig and I'm in Michigan.  IMO Times Wire LMR
400 is a far better cable.  More rugged, will make tighter radius turns and
getting squeezed (within reason) will not cause impedance excursions, nor
will the center tend to migrate to the side in turns.

I'm going to install LMR 600 or 900 to the top of the tower for the 144/440
vertical.

Best of luck what ever you choose.
