[TowerTalk] Coax Rating

[thompson@mindspring.com (thompson@mindspring.com)]

RG-8X is rated to 700 watts CCS....most of us don't push this limit.  For
casual use 8X is Ok.  (as is RG58 Steve)
The losses can start to add up on 10...Stay with 213 if running high power
in contests (or hardline) or working 10 or 15 meters.
I Use 8X for all my transceiver to amp coax as its easier to work with.
