Hello I am looking for a 50 ohms legal limit coaxial, but a light one, for a wire yagi I am using 213 hanging from DE, but its too heavy and stress too much my rope boom Maybe a coaxial with center i
You did not mention what band your wire Yagi is for. RG8X should be fine at legal limit under 10MHz. You will have 1/2 dB loss in 30 meters of coax on 80m. John KK9A Hello I am looking for a 50 ohms
Look at RG400 Wes N7WS I am looking for a 50 ohms legal limit coaxial, but a light one, for a wire yagi I am using 213 hanging from DE, but its too heavy and stress too much my rope boom Maybe a coa
Maybe a coaxial with center in aluminum? Or something lighter than cooper Jorge, LMR400 has copper-coated Al center. 0.1kg/m, 6.8 lb/100 ft. There is a family of lighter weight coaxes sold in EU that
RG400 without a doubt. Spendy though -de John NI0K _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list TowerTalk@contesting.com http
Pretty lossy -- it's the dimension of RG59, but silver-coated copper. Great for chokes and short patch cables in the shack, but that's all I'd consider using it for. 73, Jim K9YC ____________________
If you can get by with 1000 watts, use RG8X. DX Engineering has low loss RG8X. Otherwise, plan on significant loss compared to RG213. You could also use RG400, but with significant expense and loss.
RG400 is only good coax choice for a wire antenna if you need lightweight coax with 10KW HF capability and your wallet is too thick. John KK9A RG400 without a doubt. Spendy though -de John NI0K _____
Hello Jorge, What frequency is the wire yagi? 80 meters? 73, Rich, N6KT, PJ4K On Friday, September 11, 2020, 09:08:40 AM PDT, Jorge Diez (CX6VM-CW5W) <cx6vm.jorge@gmail.com> wrote: Hello I am look
thanks TO all for the help is for 80 mts band, and must run easily 1500 watts 73, Jorge CX6VM/CW5W -- 73, Jorge CX6VM/CW5W _______________________________________________ ____________________________
OP did not specify the feed point height but I have used RG-142 in similar situations to get me from the matched feedpoint down to ground level. Then transition to something like LMR400 (or a clone)

Jorge Think about it from a slightly different perspective. I assume you have a "Rope Boom" stretched between two trees. Rather than have the coax hang down from the driven element have it go back al

It's a fixed non-rotatable wire beam. A balanced antenna. Feed it with balanced line. Light weight ladder line in the 400 to 600 ohm range. You can use AWG 16 stranded. No baluns, significant loss, h
My choice has always been high quality LMR240 (RG8X size). It would be about 0.4db for 100ft on 80M. There really isn't a better option. I use it on my 80M center fed slopers. Ed N1UR _______________
Jorge & Jim, That EU brand is Messi & Paolini. Our 6Gs DXpedition group has used their cables on all our trips. Aircell 5 is 5mm and light weight, but may not have the power handling you seek, so tak
