Re: [TowerTalk] Looking for a light coaxial

[Gedas <w8bya@mchsi.com>]

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) for the low 
loss aspects etc to get me into the shack. The different in matched loss 
between RG-142 and LMR400 for a 100' length at 80m is only ~1/2 dB. Have 
NEVER had any issues because it uses a solid (and stiff) center 
conductor when you properly strain relieve it at the feedpoint.

This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
