Speaking of coax, look at the piece that runs from the loading cap to the relay. This stuff may be good for 300 watts or so not 10kw.

## This is a joke right ?? BTW... RG-217 is puny stuff.... it's
the 50 ohm version of the older RG-14 52 ohm 5/8" plane jane
coax.... slightly bigger than RG-213. Both RG-217 and RG-14au
are 5/8" od. 217 has a 10 ga solid center conductor.. and is
still being sold.

## IF he is talking about RG-17..... they have not made that stuff
since the 70's. [it was 52 ohm] RG17 was used with LC connector's...
and the solid center conductor IS the center pin !

### RG-17 is now called RG-218. RG218 is the newer 50 ohm
version... and has a slightly bigger cenetr conductor.... which will
not fit the older LC femal chassis connector's... unless grns down a
bit. Both RG17 and RG-218 ate huge 1" diam.... and have the
same loss's as LMR-600 or 1/2" heliax.
