Bob,

Sorry I didn't explain it very well.

My buddy wants to use RG-400 for his VHF COMM. He has one of those antennas that has only a Delrin insulator and the end of the antenna is threaded. He currently has some old RG-58 which is installed according to the 'Connection, Chapter 13, The "Poor Man's" coax termination in lieu of a BNC connector, which is not an option with this antenna.

He was wondering if he should just twist the two layers of (RG-400) braid into one "wire" and crimp on a lug like the previous (RG-5Cool install. I was wondering if the outer (RG-400) braid should be trimmed short and only the inner braid teased out for crimping onto the ground lug. Or does it even matter?

Sorry for the misdirect.
