    Subject: Re: RG400 Splice
    From: "Eric M. Jones" <emjones@charter.net>
    > I may have a need to lengthen two of the four antenna cables to my Ryan TCAD9900B by approximately 6. Short of fabricating an extension with connectors on each end, would it be preferable to splice directly to the existing cables? N4ZQ I'd follow Bill's suggestions, but if it absolutely has to be lengthened there are connectors to do it properly. There are good You Tube videos online regarding this. But whatever you do, remember that the RF signal is carried in the insulation, NOT the center conductor nor the shield! This makes all other joining schemes problematic. See my attached "Dabbling with Electricity" for this and other matters. -------- Eric M.
