[Elecraft] RG-8X

Hi Richard, 


Please provide a little more information so that your question can 
be answered more accurately. 


At what frequencies will you be using your coax? 


Will your coax be buried or laid on the ground, or will it not be 
in contact with the ground at all? 



Many coaxial cables have a vinyl jacket which is very susceptible 
to moisture penetration if buried or laid on moist ground. 


Are rodents (squirrels, mice, etc) a problem in your area? 


Vinyl jacketed coax is very susceptible to rodent damage which 
will quickly increase your coax loss.

I’m seeking recommendations for RG-8X coax with the lowest loss. The total run will be about 100 feet. 

Cheers!
