Hi Scott,
I've never liked battery cables as they are not very flexible (you
almost have to mold them into position). With all cables, the higher
the strands per awg size, the more flexible the cable is (unless the
outer sheath is of a hard jacket). The battery cable will do fine,
but you may want to find something more flexible. I use 6 awg
because I had it on hand to use. However, something smaller is fine.
As Greg mentioned, keep lengths from base to RF ground short. If it
goes 1 meter or more, I personally would recommend something in the
range of 12 awg. My 6 awg is overboard for what is actually needed.
There's nothing wrong with going oversize if that is what you have on hand.
Take care,
Bart

Thanks for the answer Bart.
The confusion from the Terry Filter came from the fact that with my wiring
plan, the NST Ground and RF Power Ground where both headed for the same
place, but afterward I realized how it worked like that.
Good tips on the RF grounding too. I have some 8 or 6 AWG battery cables
that I may use in place of the ribbon, I'll see how it works out.
