The run to my ant tower is a bit over 100 ft, this is coax, underground
in a 1 in plastic pvc conduit--try that with another feedline...

Warmest regards,
John

I don't want to say any more than I have to about this, I don't want to
contaminate the answer. Lets just say 2 people disagree about
something. I am trying to keep it simple.

Lets take for example a simple piece of coax. 1 center conductor, 1
outer braid. The cable is carrying AC in the RF range to an antenna.
Why coax?

Do you think the outer braid could be correctly referred to as a
"shield"?

Thanks,
