Some stuff related to me and my hobby. Coax not working When I first did the real tests with my vertical for 3.5 MHz I had the coax out from the antenna switch to the vertical. It was just there on the grass and my intention was to have it under the snow during the winter. On the third day I was monitoring the band with good signals. I went out an hour and when I came back the band was silent. No wind so it couldn't be any wind related problems. Well, it was dark so I waited until next day. Out there in the garden I found this damage. My first thought was the cat but he had been indoors and had a good lawyer in my XYL. Something had been there and you can see the small marks but also a quite powerful damaged cable, double shielded. Now a new coax, RG-58, is hanging in the air until next summer when I will do it more permanently.
