ahh ok thanks guys, i don't know why i was looking at an electron and
thought it wanted to keep going in same direction (objects want to keep
going ...) so i thought that a bend wouldn't have made the electron
'want' to change direction

but i followed what you spoke of, i was thinking more volts and
forgot about rf still made me ponder

but all clear now

thanks again and HAPPY HOLIDAYS !!


While the others have given an explination, I have measuered the loss in the
past, did it on 4 pieces about 130 feet long wound in coils about 2 feet in
diameter a few weeks ago . Did that to check out the new coax I used to
install new antennas at my house to make sure the coax and connectors were
installed correctly. While I did not streach the coax out and do another
measurment, the losses met the specifications .
