BBDGe is hard to work with, but you just dont ever have issues with it. Its all we use for towers, its rodent proof (ish) pinholes dont ever cause penetration, Other then getting in a hurry and slicing your finger a bit on the copper occasionally its great. We dont run the copper into most radio housings, we cut it back 18 inches using just the inner sheath to run to the radio, shingle some good super 33 to seal it and we bond the copper to the radio housing.
