[Antennas] Coax Question's

Jim,
For the situation you describe, I think RG8X would be just ideal.
As for "where to buy it"...I guess that depends on where you are
located since it sounds like shipping costs will be involved.

At the risk of sounding like a commercial, for years I have bought
all of my coax from the company in South Carolina, owned by "Pres".

I'll be glad to give you more detailed info via private email if
you wish.

Good luck....the SB200 will be a very nice to have item now that the
propogation is so very poor.

Keep us posted...

Time to update the question; When I asked which was best, I meant best over
all. The cable will outside subject to weather, but will have no stress/load
on it. It will be completely supported. Max power will not be over 300 amps,
normally it should be much less.  I am one of those "use the least power
guys".  I do have a SB-200 that I bought and build about 25 yrs ago, I
sometimes run it into a dummy load just to check it out. If I every use it,
I will use a long wire.

After reading all the reply comments, I think that I will go with RG-8x.
What do you think?

Jim
