[SixClub] Question on RG8 or RG213

[larry fields,n6hpx/du1 manila]

   The one thing I like about coaxes the size of RG8
or 213 is its less heavy in sending overseas. I have
RG8 on the one dipole now for 6 meters and have
thoughtr of installing a 2m beam for SSB as I have
been wanting to try that out as well.
   I plan to put the antenna up only 30 feet.
