    I've found that alot of the time, the antenna cables break at the doors because of the constant opening and closing. Woven core cables are supposed to be more flexible than solid core, so I bought the Wilson 18 foot cable , but at -20 last night it was pretty stiff so I was wondering which antenna cable remains the most flexible at low temperatures.

    Run it thru the wing window, do not close the door on it.

    Unless you are slip seating, find a place in the firewall to run it thru. There is usually a fairly easy passage way if you look for it. The Cascadia has a rubber grommet on the driver's side they tell me is easy to access and run your cable thru.

    I am slip seating, and need to roll and unroll every day. Hard to get a neat coil when it's stiff from the cold.

    As cold as it's been in most of the Country last few week's...Your not going to find anything that's going to stay flexible...Except for maybe a string and two tin can's.
