While this subject has no doubt been covered at some juncture in the past, I
will ask it again since I have personal and immediate interest in the
answers as well as a friend who is about to put up a similar tower.
My HyGain HG-70 needs new cables. Those on the tower now are galvanized
and as I recall these were recommended over stainless steel. The tower uses
TWO 1/4 cables for the bottom and middle section with ONE 3/16" cable for
the top section. Are there degrees of durability, quality, longevity, with
respect to these cables? I am not talking about walking into Harbour
Freight or Home Depot and buying some imported stuff. And there are local
shops that can make them to length with the nico-pressed ends. But beyond
that, what is the best cable to use and is there a dealer where these are
available that one can rely on getting quality cables that will last 5-7
years in a salt water/air environment such as here in Florida? Thanks in
advance... - Mike
