    Anyone got a spare male BNC to male BNC coaxial cable for sale? 1 metre length max, 20 cm length min. Or anyone that can pick one up somewhere in Dublin tomorrow?

    I'm locked to Dunlaoire during work hours so can't go find one anywhere.

    I can pay and collect anywhere in Dublin.

    Even the connectors only will do I can solder or crimp my own cable.

    Could you post a pic of the one you need? If I have the right bits here I can make you one, it'd be with rg59 though because that's all I have.

    If your local, I can give it a go, RG6 is 75 ohm as opposed to 50 ohm that is recommended but I think that for the low mhz that we are listening to it might just be fine,

    If reception is poor compared to the existing antenna we can always swap it out. I need maybe 50m of coax to reach the feed setup do you have enough?

    Many thanks,
    Pat.

    Very busy at Dublin a while ago, I think most can agree a tower only feed would be a real luxury for the new set-up!

    All antenna splitters / SDR radios etc now installed, (thanks Jimbis, cable perfect).

    Just waiting now for Dave at liveATC to check the quality and assign the freq changes etc needed.

    To start with im hoping to add a Tower only feed, a Ground only feed, and keep up the usual mix as well.
