[Elecraft] What is "good quality coax"

I have a 40m dipole fed with RG58 and although it's a bit of a lash-up it
works really well. The coax drops 8 metres to the ground and there is a run
of about 12 metres to the radio giving a feeder length of 20 metres in
total. Considering the Heath Robinson construction I get excellent signal
reports so unless your run is of significant distance I wouldn't bother
about using RG58 (just don't run QRO!)

Others may disagree but that's my two penneth.


Cheers,
Paul.
