It seems to me that you are the only one who would know how much loss
you are willing to accept. The specs for just about every imaginable
type of coax are readily available online.
For example, 50 feet of 9913F7 has a loss of 0.55 dB and LMR600 has a
loss of 0.35 dB. I'm not sure if anyone here is going to know if that
0.2 dB is important to you or not ... but I'm going to guess not.

Hi all,
I am looking for good quality coax to use on 6m, in two different places:
- home station, 6 element yagi, used for regular dxing... I need about 50'
to run from the wall up to the tower. Then I have another 50' of Belden
9913F running from the wall to the radio.
- portable 8 element yagi used in dxpedition for EME. I need about 50-75'
of it.
For the home station - Will I be ok if I use another run of 9913F or I
better get larger cable with less attenuation? Do I need to replace
existing run of 9913F? I will hate to do it - it is in the walls and in the
ceiling space...
So far, it seems, the only option is LMR600....
Is there any alternative to it? I don't care about the weight of it at
home, but 75' of coax in the luggage will take whole suitcase by size and
weight :)
Any online sources with user-friendly prices?
Thanks,
Alex K2BB
soon - 5H3EME
