[Antennas] length of coaxial cable

[DJED1 at aol.com]

Assuming the triband antenna is matched at the frequencies of interest (as  a 
triband beam is), then the length of the 50 ohm coax doesn't matter.   
Obviously, the loss increases as the length increases, so it should be no longer  
than needed to reach from the antenna to the radio.
If you were using a wire antenna on multiple bands, then the situation is  
more complicated, because the antenna is usually not matched on all bands.
