Bill, echoes my experiences exactly except, since they ship from eastern
VA, my cost was a little lower.

I heartily recommend Jefa Tech coax. If put side by side with
Times/Belden LMR-400 you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Less
than half the price of brand name stuff, and I've used it exclusively
on four different stations. No cracking of the jacket or any other
issue, physically or electrically. I bought a 1000 foot roll about two
years ago and the price including shipping to FL was less than $450.
They also have 500 foot rolls available. A+ satisfaction with the
product and customer service.

It's been a while (maybe 10 years) since I have purchased coax. I have
purchased RG-213, LM-400, and RG-8x in the past. For a new station
build, I am interested in acquiring some RG-8 (generic size) coax. I
see that DX Engineering has a new 400MAX coax offering, which is
described attractively on their website. RG-8 size coax will probably
be used for short runs (antennas to stackmatching boxes) and also for
some long runs (shack to antenna, maybe 200 foot runs).
The station will be on a Caribbean island. Dilligent attempts will be
made to seal connections very well. I believe coax runs will be
above-ground. Some antennas will rotate.
I realize this question may be too generic, but what might folks here
on Towertalk recommend for these applications?
Thanks and 73,
Rich, N6KT
