[ML-Hams] RG8 Coax Needed

[Bruce Campbell]

Sorry,
I am reading out of order. That coax that I left will work. It also still
has some ends on it. Go by Gigaparts and pick up some Dialectic compound.
It both weather proofs your connection and prevents RF reflections on
contacts due to changes in impedance at the contact point.

I am back in town and can help you put the station together. I am tied up
this weekend but can schedule a meeting at the shop after that.

P.S. What kind of radio do you have?
