[Elecraft] RG-8X

[john at kk9a.com]

The original post by W4KBX  was this:  "I’m seeking recommendations for
RG-8X coax with the lowest loss. The total run will be about 100 feet."

You cannot defy physics and have low loss with 1/4" coax, no matter who
the manufacture is, but RG8X was his criteria.

My thinking, I would cringe at putting up a nice yagi such as this and
not use the feedline with the lowest loss possible.  Most likely Andrew
LDF4-50A hardline.

Me too!  The 350 ft run from my shack to the 3-el SteppIR is 7/8-in
hardline, transitioning to a short length of flexible coax for the
rotator loop. Scrounged the hard line used for roughly $1/ft.  Loss is
about 1 dB on 6M.
