Bob, I wrap the radio in aluminum foil, leaving a hole for the S Meter indicator volume knob. Learned that one from Walt also. Looks ugly but works well. On this 800 foot tower RG-8 would not work.

I had to do this once to find an interference source on a tower; used 100 ft. of RG8 to a pass cavity & good RX on the ground. The tower climber just carried a yagi up the tower. Worked well.
