[TowerTalk] TIC Ring cable sizing

["Zivney, Terry L." <00tlzivney@bsu.edu>]

I use 7 x #18 cable - 3 for the pot and double the others (equivalent to #15) 
for 400 foot plus
runs to my 1022 rings.   Works fine with moderate sized antennas (11 element 38 
foot boom
10/15meter duobanders or smaller).  For a larger antenna, still just one motor, 
a 48 foot boom
5el 20 with 2el Cushcraft 40 elements interlaced, this proved inadequate.  I 
used #14 Romex
for the motor leads on that ring, which now turns as fast as the smaller 
antennas.
