Paul,
Good question. I was comparing both of these feedlines also.
I haven't used either one so I rely on the comments here on our
reflector.
Here's a quote from Roger, K8RI
"I found 1/2" Heliax too fragile for kinking, or being stepped on. I
gave away two 100' runs with connectors. and went to LMR600"

N4CC and I are gearing up to move our remote internet station about a
half-mile down the edge of the Okefenokee Swamp. The move is a big hassle
but topography is even better than the current site.
Above ground, we're going to re-use TerraWave TWS-600 cabling since it's
only about one year old. TWS is a generic equivalent to Times LMR-600.
However, for underground cabling, I'm looking at direct burial of either
gel-flooded TWS-600 or RFS 1/2-inch Cellflex hardline. Pricing is roughly a
wash when considering cable and connector cost -- and I assume the same for
shipping.
Preference to one installation over the other? The RFS line has a slightly
better loss spec, but not by much.
Paul, W9AC
