Steve, You can find W3LPL's coax attenuation charts here: http://www.k1ttt.net/technote/coaxloss.html I have found this to be a handy reference. You can also add in the loss for the LMR series cables
Mike, I've had a few 80m monoband antennas over the years (inverted V, vertical with top loading, full size verticals) and they all were pretty close to resonant on 30. They usually came in somewhere
