Re: [IRCA] AC twin lead or speaker wire for lead in.

Craig,

There was an article foating around called something like, Is Your lead
in a snake? There were experiments about grounding  the coax. By your
experiments Craig, it sounds like the coax is an issue. Now, why doesn't
coax going to an FM or TV antenna affect the directivity? Or does it?
We all know that coax is good for shelding against noise, but the
thought of the coax even with matching transformers affecting the
pattern is for concern. I wonder if there is any coax out there that
would  work. It sounds like the general run of the mill coax is suspect.
I still like using coax as it is good against water and noise. Hardline?
I wonder what would be the best.
   In my daytime tests of checking the R8 with coax from in the house
and out in the back running the antennas directly into the receiver, I
did not find any difference as far as I could tell. Nothing "jumped" out
at me. So I wonder in reality, if the difference is in what type of an
antenna is used, loop vs beverager vs EWE.? The load might make a
difference too. Any thoughts?

73,

Patrick
