Hello! With all this 70 cm preamp info flying around, I was wondering if
I
could change the subject for a moment....
I'd like to receive the new Japanese microsat that is transmitting on 437.???
I have a Hamtronics preamp tuned to 435 Mhz with N connectors on it. I'd probably feed power to it separately while it's on the antenna mast.
My question is this: I have some cable TV hardline gathering dust in
the
basement. What are the cons for using that to run from the antenna/preamp into the shack? (besides finding connectors for it) Anybody know
where
I can find connectors?
Thanks!

Hi Tyler, KM3G
You will find informations on how to beat the high cost of connectors for popular "1-inch" 75 ohm CATV coaxial cable reading Ham Radio Magazine october 1979 page 52 to 55
If you cannot find the article I can scan it for you, please let me know.
