Best Time To Buy Used Car

Q.I want to run about 50ft of antenna feeder cable for FM radio. The feeder cable will be attached to an exterior wall beneath vinyl siding. Which cable should I use, coax or flat twin feeder? I suspect the answer is coax but I would like to use flat wire because I have 50ft of that. Also flat feeder would be easier to hide inside the house.

A.For a quickie FM feed, flat twin should be fine, but not for analog TV, but... Since over the air analog TV will be phased out in a few short years you wont have to worry about that anyway. That is unless you want to one day receive over the air high definition digital signals which will be available. In that case you may want to just get yourself set up with a digital HDTV antenna and proper coax downfeed, rotator, mast, and preamp. But if you are just looking to get a better FM signal then twin should be fine for that. If you go whole hog and want a proper digital exterior TV antenna then Frys electronics has them, unfortunately Radio Shack seems to have turned into a cell phone store (what a shame), Best Buy I think sells digital antenna parts too. If you go with coax then I like RG6 quad shield the best, but you have to get good at terminating them with the Thomas Betts (sp?) waterproof F connectors and their snap crimping tool.
