OK folks, this thread serves to confirm that we're not normal people. Only subscribers to this list would a) know that there is more than one kind of "cable" b) know that cable TV companies use various kinds in various situations c) Actually go to the trouble to figure out what kind of coax they actually installed on your house. d) and then debate the merits of their choice. (we haven't gotten here yet, but we will) e) debate whether you could use the cable TV drop messenger wire and/or shield as an end fed wire antenna by shunt feeding against the grounding block, and then, whether the increased bandwidth from using both messenger and shield (making a bigger diameter antenna) is worth the increased loss from using the steeel messenger (or whether you could use it as a folded sloper) Jim, W6RMK _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscomputer.com for "Self Supporting Towers", "Wireless Weather Stations", and lot's more.
