coax in place of single-conductor wire?

[yzlian]

while trying to replace the cable between the tuner and the antenna (the backstay), i found that i still have a length of spare coax long enough to do the job. but if i use it for that portion of the wiring, would the transmission of radio signals be adversely affected? thanks!

No don't do it.

No - Use GTO only....

What kind of coax??

If RG-8 or -213 you can strip both the jacket and braid. Use what's left...the polyethylene insulator and core in place of GTO. Sunlight will eventually degrade the poly..maybe 3-5 yrs, but it is a superior HV cable in every way.
