Unlikely, since that stuff is normally at the TOP of the tower, but special circumstances require special solutions. >or your own repeater tx antenna? >Seems that leakage INTO your receive antenna coax >could be a consideration here.

But I do have an acquaintance who wondered why all the jumpers on his duplexers made noise when he touched them. Of course failing to solder the shield in the PL259's had something to do with that. >Bottom line-using solid >shield coax is almost never a bad choice. > >Laryn K8TVZ Never said it was. Sometimes people can't afford it though. If I was doing a building-top installation with a short feed-line run, had a limited budget, and had to choose how to spend my money, I'd put more into the antenna and use RG213 before I would skimp on the antenna just to buy 30' of heliax.
