Hey Skipp, I think the trick may be to keep the cable immobilized.  I have
it secured to the tower at every rung so it don't flex in the breeze - I
have seen 7/8 air puncture from slag in the galvanizing on the tower.  So
far I have had good luck - I have had LMR 600 up on 3 runs at 100 ft and 3
runs at 150 feet for about 8 years now - used for back to back radios using
Rayfields NetLink MP.  Also have some LMR1200 but 7/8" stuff is just as cost
effective and weighs much less.  Time will tell and thanks for your kind
warnings,

73, Steve NU5D

Very nice...  but... "fed with 1/2" LMR 500"

It will be interesting to find out how the LMR-500 works for you
over time. I hope you don't use the words "cluster [EMAIL PROTECTED]" in your
