[AMRadio] RG8X

[Brett gazdzinski]

I have always used rg8x from the antenna to the roof, then I splice
on the RG214 into the shack.
Unless an antenna is center supported, the weight of full size
coax is out of the question.

I have never had a problem with it, the loss is higher,
but I only use about 30 feet of it on HF.
