Tom I too have used hardline on any number of antennas at work and never
had any noise problems, in fact the only problem I ever ran into was the
hardline wearing in too where it was run through a raw hole drilled through
a brick wall....no I didn't install it that way in fact I kind of wish I
could have gotten my hands on who DID. Climbing an unlighted 120 foot
monopole in the middle of the night to replace a run of hardline is NOT my
idea of fun.
