I was tryihng to show the isolation of good quality UTP is around 63dB.
63dB is very good for a 1V video(RF from 0~5MHz), not so very good
for antena supplied RF.

Not near quite enough for my location.

Feel free to use any cable you wish.

I was trying to help newbies avoid the mistakes that I had already
made.

You lose me with all those numbers. I just look for symmetrical
bowties.

Sorry I thought this news group was about Shortwave, receivers and
antennas.

A special sub-part of the hobby is antenna and feedline inter-reaction
and how to get the strongest, cleanest RF signal from the antenna to
the
receiver.

I had hoped that we were having a somewhat serious fact based
conversation.

Sad to see how wrong I was.

Anyway, you are the very first person I have killfiled.
I had wrongly assumed that inpiste of your repeated OT politcal
comments
that you were a serious SWL. Sorry to waste our time.
