Does anyone use RG11? I have never used it and is it harder to put
connectors on over RG6? Thanks.
Depends on the type. If it's the copper based version, regular UHF plugs
can be soldered on just as is done with the more common RG-8. The aluminum
based type would use a specific crimp
Tim,
It sounds like your locals are doing a good job with a lot of local
programming. They are indeed serving your local listeners. That is radio
to me. It looks like it has indeed paid off for your stations too.
Glad to hear that.

require the right tools.
One problem with RG-6 for MW frequency is the loss. The center
I would second the Cat 5e approach. I've done a number of controlled tests
and it outperforms RG-58 hands down, MW thru 10 meters, for noise
performance and signal loss. With shorter runs (50 feet or so) I haven't
needed baluns.

Another test I made is making a balun for each end and using CAT5
ethernet network cable. It's balanced and gathers less noise or
unwanted signals on the way in. Also cheap and very easy to build.

Haven't tried that, Craig. BTW for do-it-yourself Balun arrays if you're
not into winding them, look at the many many options available at
www.minicircuits.com. Very inexpensive too.

Correct Stephen..I heard KPPC-1240 Pasadena several times on sunday
night (monday morning) from midnight to their s/off around 12:05-7
PST...Verified them as well. They were 100 watts. Oh, my reception was
from Sacramento in the mid 60s. Eventually the L.A. stn on 1230
swallowed them up

Someone please advise me here as I am extremely weak when it comes to cables
and baluns and I think it hold me back from using absolute state of the art
antennas and means that I DX outside in my truck rather than inside in comfort
since I often don't use cables.
Anyhow...isn't CAT5 four pairs
Steve, Kaz, I sent you a .pdf off-line that should be of use.

Pat:
Standard Belden RG6 (8215 or 7915) runs .399 and .195 dB loss
respectively per 100 feet.
Standard Belden RG11 (8213, 8238, 8261) runs .200, .198 and .198 dB loss
respectively per 100 feet.
So you may or may not be better off with RG11, and if you are better off
it will be .1 to .2 dB
Craig, is there any info online about how to make bulans for CAT to use on BCB?
Thx .. KAZ

Kaz -
I'm not Craig, but here's my view.
CAT 5 (and any other CAT) twisted pair will be a bit over 100 Ohms. So a
simple 2:1 balun will provide a decent match.
