Anyone knows how to make CI cable (a kind of BNC cable)?

> Hey thanks, John. I will get you a picture when I have my digital
camera back, i.e. when my Family is back in three weeks. So you think
it's doable if one can get the connectors? I'm always wondering why the
internal CI cable is so nice and small whereas the outside cable is
terribly stiff and big.

Any idea what kind of coax cable it is? If it is "terribly stiff", could
that be "hardline" type coax? I used hardline coax for my 1.2 Ghz
antenna I had on my tower a couple of years ago. Good type N connectors
for it are very expensive, and very tricky to put on if you've never
done them before. Luckily I had someone helping me who knew how to do
them.

I don't remember wher I bought my type N connectors - from one of those
big electronic parts catalogs I think... What is "Newark" or something
like that? Don't even know if they're still in business. I might have a
few left for type 9913 coax, if you want me to dig through my boxes of
stuff I could. I used type N connectors for all my 144 Mhz and above
antennas (I had about 15 up on my tower at one point).
