Hindsight is always 20-20, when I hear the discussions about how great 9913 or lmr coax is on the local repeater I cringe and try to break in before they actually get it up and installed - seldom do you hear anyone think of the mechanical finger support method needed to prevent the shreading of the braid with the wieght of this vertical run. Once they realize all the extra hardware and time needed to install it so it stays straight and together as an assembly then the moaning begins, 9913 does make good support for grape vines if you ever move the repeater from the garage.
