Re: [Repeater-Builder] FAA Paint Removal

[W8KT]

OK, I should have been more specific. This is going on my tower. It is a 140 foot length of Andrew 1 1/4" hardline. I have been very careful in the components used to avoid any "problems". The tower is Pirod as is all of the hardware. Lightning rod, "T" bars for the snap in hangers, etc. All grounding is #2 stranded with 3 ground rods per leg all tied together. All cables grounded. Polyphasers on all lines. Single point ground for the entire station. Just trying to save a few bucks on the transmission lines. Thanks for all the tips, Bob [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hmmm! FAA doesn't paint coax cables! However, If this hardline was attached to and then removed from a structure located near an airport or airfield, then there would be some orange and white paint. This paint should do no particular harm to the coax cable jacket. Personally, if this coax you have is RG-331 or RG-333, I'd put it on eBay and get some good coax.

The local government here says any towers in the village nust be silver or grey. Cables can be silver or black. I just aquired some hardline that I woulld like to use, but it is painted FAA colors. Anyone ever try to remove paint from hardline? The coat is not thick, appears to only have been painted once. Flame suit on..... Bob Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo!
