[TCML] RF Ground and Brass

[bartb]

Hi Scott,

I've never liked battery cables as they are not very flexible (you 
almost have to mold them into position). With all cables, the higher the 
strands per awg size, the more flexible the cable is (unless the outer 
sheath is of a hard jacket). The battery cable will do fine, but you may 
want to find something more flexible. I use 6 awg because I had it on 
hand to use. However, something smaller is fine. As Greg mentioned, keep 
lengths from base to RF ground short. If it goes 1 meter or more, I 
personally would recommend something in the range of 12 awg. My 6 awg is 
overboard for what is actually needed. There's nothing wrong with going 
oversize if that is what you have on hand.

Take care,
Bart
