Hi Bob,
Then RG-174 would work just as well - if you wanted something very
thin and flexible.
However, the common application of the term "patch cord" is a short
connector to a variety of very much longer transmission lines. If
that is the sense of "patch cord" that you mean, then your longer
lines, for your range of frequencies, should be very large diameter

A Faraday shield allows for magnetic and elerctrical fields to
separate and cancell leaving a RF current thast radios are designed to
handle. The shield unlike what we view as radiators has two side that
are independent of each other where as a "normal" radiators surface is
not separated electrically. The Faraday shield operates at 90 degrees

They'll do you fine, Bob. In fact, if the center conductor isn't nicked
during construction of the connector, your going right to the conductor,
less in between stuff to fail.
Now that isn't a really big point, because RF connectors are a pretty
reliable lot. But there is nothing wrong with the F connectors except

Hi,
Just a bit of a followup from my previous post.
Am in my 70's now, and not too sharp with this stuff anymore.
But, I really enjoy sw listening.
Doing some re-plumbing.
The suggestion was made that the common RG-6 that is everywhere would do
me just fine, as I'm talking about about 3 foot patch cord lengths.

methinks you should apologize to TJ for changing his post
and attributing your insult to his name.
How low can you get?, don't answer that we already know.

So he is center feeding a large curtain with a "_2 inch_" wide feed.
Yup, that WILL very definitely be quiet. I hope the tuner has a lot of
loss in the way before the "antenna" (chortle) to dissipate the 99.999%
of the power fed to the short at the end.
It's not a Faraday shield if it's not completely surrounding something.

I tried this once myself, but the XYL yelled at me to put the curtain
back in the shower.
It had pretty poor ShoWeR anyhow......

Big deal.
All that is, depending on how it is fed, is either a fat dipole or a fat
long wire.
