Re: [time-nuts] Safely getting the electrical length of a connected antenna feedline

Earlier this year, with some help, I pulled the dish off of an old DishTV
antenna on the roof and put a 5V bullet antenna on the mast.  I also pulled
a new cable through by attaching it to the old one.  The problem is that I
was not able to measure the new cable.  So, the question is, without going
back on the roof in this heat, how can I measure the electrical length of
the line I pulled? 

Can you measure the old cable?
