Boy I have NEVER heard that one before.
As Bruce says COAX IS COAX and your Antenna cannont tell weather it is 9913 or RG 213 or 213/U or Mini 8 as long as it is rated for the Power you will be useing. |

I wonder if he may be talking Solarcon commercial antennas? They build them up to 6 Ghz and the 9913 might not perform as well that high in the UHF frequency? |

i think it was on another forum along time ago when i had a A99 that i saw it,,a fellow on another forum also told me it had something to do with getting water in the coax,,the way a a99 is set up at the base and the air in the 9913 coax has something to do with it..HK esq. |

If your connectors are properly installed and sealed you will not get water in air-core coax.
Just be careful not to obstruct the weep hole in the base of the A-99. |
