Hi Carlos!

If your antenna is manufactured for an impedance of 50 ohm at its  
working frequencies then just attach whatever length of 50 ohm coax  
that is needed to get into the schack. If you are running the normal  
100 watts and will not use more than, say, 30-40 metres of coax then  
ordinary RG58-type coax will work. Larger diameter/lower loss cable  
is  better but I doubt you'll really notice much difference.
