    Long enough to reach from your radio's coax connector, plus a foot of spare for the inevitable connector replacement, to your antenna's connector, plus a foot for the equally inevitable connector replacement.

    P.S. This wouldn't be a troll, would it? ;)

    Got everything ready to go. Just need to take my angle grinder to the tower mod I did and get it re-galvanized.

    You can use cold galvanized on a repair, we did on Rohn towers never had a problem with it.

    I was going to do that, but there is a place close by that will hot dip them for a decent price. I've got two towers. One is just a G20, the other a G25 and both are probably 40 years old. They don't look too bad really, but with the addition for the thrust bearing, I thought I might as well re-dip the whole thing.

    Been reading about using all nulled coax lengths and the supposed benefit thereof, but I haven't figured out how to do it.

    I've looked for those vids you speak of but haven't found them yet. Will the AA-35 do that, or do you need one of the others?
