RG400 is the exact same stuff but with a twisted stranded center

stranded center makes it a lot more flexible and useful.
It's good stuff.

Aircraft handhelds are AM in the 120MHz region. Some handheld
scanners do aircraft AM just fine.
Ah! Somehow that hadn't occurred to me. The president of our club is
a pilot and has one.
I guess there are no weak, constant signals in the aircraft band (?)

Paul,
Actually, if you're near enough to the airport, you should be able to hear the
ATIS (Automatic Termininal Information System) broadcast. It repeats
airfield/weather information continously. That'd be a constant (although
perhaps not weak) signal in the aircraft band.

And, if it will tune the 108 MHz to 118 MHz band,
you could receive a nearby VOR.

Some amateur rigs receive AM aircraft band. Most of mine do, HT's and
mobiles. That's what I use for power line sniffing.

Doug,
I use Penetrox AR (made by Burndy Electrical) to assemble antennas and
such. It's available from ham sources (AES, HRO, etc) or commercial vendors
(Tessco, Hutton, etc).
I'm not sure of the conductivity of Lithium Grease, but Penetrox has a known

Does anybody know any actual differences between these two cables (other

I remember after last year's event we had talked about getting a club

I'll be damned though if I can find the application form for club spaces.

Hey folks,
My repeater whole-cabinet fan threw the bearings and now sounds like a diesel

Very relevant. DTV Channel 7 may not be on RF channel 7.
