For a cylindrical waveguide, filled with hot collisional and moving plasma, the expression for damping coefficient Ki (imaginary part of the wave vector) has been derived and discussed in the case of TM modes. It is observed that due to the effects of ion collisions, Ki remains less than zero for all values of beta (= v/c) and waves suffer strong reflections for beta less than or equal to 0.5. The damping is, however, not affected for moderate changes in the collision frequencies, while for low values of electron collision frequency and plasma density, the damping coefficient varies in a parabolic fashion with sharp reflections at beta approximately equal to 0.3.
