[SixClub] Question on RG8 or RG213

[K8RI on 50MHz]

You might also want to consider Times Wire LMR 400 which has still less loss
with 100% shield and generally runs on the order of 60 to 70 cents a foot.
It is not terribly flexible although it can make fairly short radius turns.
There is a flexible version that sells for about 10 cents a foot more.  The
short side is you may not find it available locally.
