Re: [BVARC] HF antenna and coax

Sort of related, but passing along for your benefit and the benefit of those new to the club who haven't had the opportunity to view this excellent video, packed with good information. I've watched this thing at least a hundred times. Love it. W5TOM was a BVARC member, now SK.
