[time-nuts] Measuring coax temperature coefficient with a TICC

[Mark Sims]

Yes, for a variety of reasons, I would not expect the best results with coax on a spool.   The coax that I tested was a loose coil of coax pre-fabbed with BNC connectors.  It should not have any significant stresses on it than a laid out 100 foot run would.  The main purpose of the experiment was just to see how well the TICC could detect temperature effects on a hunk of coax.  I just  found a small styrofoam insulated shipping box (I think it might have been  used for shipping pies) that should make for a better cable testing box.

normal to have great real of it.
