Coax Cable And Antenna Separation (

[@brianparker9924]

You're right about the conduit filling with water. As an electrician, I have never seen an underground conduit without water in it.

This has been happening to a repeater not too far from me, perfect timing with this topic!

Great coverage and suggestions Mr. Casler. 👍🏽 As for the FT450 nice😁

I've had both the 718 and 450. Both nice radios in their own way. 73, AC3HT

I love my Icom IC-718. Really excels for CW with the FL52a filter.

Licensed a few months ago and still building my station out. I’ve also been curious about antenna separation as I have a 60’ tower/mast unit I’m putting up and have a hy-gain AV680 HF vertical as well as a Comet GP9 dual-band vertical. Id like to get them both up on said tower and don’t know how far apart they’d need to be. Additionally a Tram 1486 for GMRS and a home made 11M di-pole. Can all this be crowded onto the same tower?

I removed all the TV coax from my house and background noise on 20 meter went from 9 to 0.

Another consideration ... it's preferable to keep VHF/UFH coax runs as short as possible. If you are not sure why, google coax loss (or similar).

i HAVE THE 7300. MY QUESTION IS THE ANTENNA TUNER ON THE RADIO ENOUGH. i HAVE A KEN WOOD 990 i HAVE A AUTO SEPARATE TUNER FOR IT. THE SEVENTY THREE HUNDRED IS A NICE RADIO. BUT THERE IS DAYLIGHT AND DRKE I LOVE BOTH RADIOS. ON THE KEEN WOOD i HAVE RADIO TUNER TURNED OFF.

What's an "uggie"?

[@brvfd822]

It’s pronounced “auggie”. Oggie is the nickname Dave has for his subscribers and followers. It’s derived from the last two letters of his call sign, OG.

Ft 450D has the built in tuner
