![]() Had a major case of memory corruption - my coax is RG-58, not the larger 8X ;-). I think I'll admit defeat and just find a way to shoehorn another coax up the mast. Maybe I'll just drill thru the cabintop and epoxy a stainless threaded SO-239 nipple thru it so the balsa core of the fiberglass won't suck up moisture like a sponge. Then just make another run up the mast. The problem with drilling a larger hole in the mast step is that it's harder to seal against moisture when you have lots of cables in a relatively large hole. Water inevitably gets in... Let me reiterate, the Motorola white Teflon jacketed RG-58 type coax is slightly smaller in diameter than regular RG-58 coax, but not any more loss. Plus, the Teflon jacket is very slick, making pulling it in tight quarters easier. I'd still suggest you use the original coax as a pull line and pull up two of these Teflon jacketed coaxes. Ed |
