Well, let's see how to respond to this.
TW>  Why are people so "Pound Foolish and Penny Wise". The Antenna and it's
TW>cable is one place you should NOT pinch pennies. Throw that junk away
TW>and get some decent 50 ohm cable, Perferabibly Belden 9913.
  Well, I agree that the ant and the feedline are important, OTOH not
everyone has the funds to do what is right.  I have mixed connective
tissue disease and I'm having to deal the the shi.. (ahem) understanding
people at social security concerning my disability right now so I'm doing
good to let a few dollars go to get something I can afford.
  If you wish to fund my setup then by all means, I have no objections
whatsoever. ;)  But be forwarned, while I agree that 9913 is good stuff, 
it is low on my list of preferences.  I would much rather use 7/8
hardline or heliax instead.  With the heliax being my first choice.
(what can I say, I have expensive tastes :> )
  But I digress for the echo, (sorry Wayne) I hope to catch you on 
the air sometime so for now,
