Bend radius rules got me for 6 years straight

Always laughed at the old timers pulling 90s too tight. Then last Tuesday on a job in Tacoma, a customer pointed at my coax and said that kink looks like a broken ankle. Checked the signal loss with my meter, 14 dB down. Turns out my whole method was trash. Anyone else have a customer teach them something basic they should've known?

14 dB is a wake up call, not a lesson. Nobody warns you that a tiny bend can cost you that much until a customer points it out. I'm glad it was a cheap fix, not a full redo.
