[SBE] hole in heliax

[A9xw at cs.com]

Since the line is open @ 300 feet, does your TDR show any coax above that?  
You may have other problems. I would make a temp splice at the holes, then 
check the line to see if you have more issues. Having an open at that point also 
indicates a strong likelyhood of other problems, such as VSWR that simply found 
the weakest spot to burn through. Check the antenna at the antenna input 
before going any farther.
