I am using a DXE RG6U coax interrupter about 35 feet from the Beverage feed
point and it is working well. I have another Beverage without one. I
would ask if I can fashion one out of two single wire K1FZ transformers
back to back with a two-inch wire connection, terminal to terminal. I
would, of

The copper clad steel center conductor won't make much difference in terms
of loss on 160m. It is an issue
Timo,
According to ARRL's TLW program, your RF insertion loss for 1500ft of
RG-6 cable should be around 7dB. This is based on Belden 8215 which uses
a solid dielectric which makes it more lossy than your 1189A which is a
foamed dielectric, but less lossy than 1189A because it uses a copper
sh
surely be OKAY with only 1500 feet of BELDEN RG6 at 160m.

The copper clad steel center conductor won't make much difference in terms of
loss on 160m. It is an issue if you will be powering Anything through the coax
(like amps or antenna selection relays) since the dc resistance is higher.
If you need solid copper center conductor rg6 you can get that
Hi all,
We are putting up new beverages for 160/80 at OH5Z.
I have a question regarding the feedline. We have to make
quite long runs like 1500 feet.
When looking for a low cost 75 ohm coaxial I found a Belden
RG6 type cable which is reasonably priced.
Here is a link for technical data
