Hi Lynn,
I have no buried cable splices in my ham station. The only splices I once had failed years ago: - The buried AC power feed from the street was fabricated from two spliced cables. The neutral wire splice failed causing a near-catastrophe in my home - the buried 240 volt AC power feed to a shed 200 meters from my home is fed by two spliced cables. One of the splices failed, now I have only 120 volts in the shed... Now if I need to splice a buried cable I bring it to the surface and splice it above ground where it can be repaired. Cold shrink tubing is widely available on eBay, usually about ten dollars each 73 Frank W3LPL ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lyn Norstad" <[email protected]> To: [email protected], "Elecraft Reflector" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, June 5, 2020 12:03:15 PM Subject: Cold Shrink Tubing (was Re: FIXED) Great video, Frank. Thanks for sharing. I had no idea cold shrink could potentially perform that well. Is that what you're using on buried cables? 73 Lyn, W0LEN > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] > Sent: Friday, June 05, 2020 1:03 AM > To: Elecraft Reflector > Subject: Re: [Elecraft] FIXED--was NOT the feedline > > This is an interesting video demonstrating the relative benefits of > heat shrink and cold shrink tubing > > > www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSOXfkB6Jgw > > > 73 > Frank > W3LPL ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
