Hi Everyone....
 
I am going to change out antennas on the tower this fall/winter and I thought 
it would be a good time to replace all the coax as well to the beam and 
dipoles.  I have collected a lot of coax over the years but it is old...and a 
lot of it has been rolled up for years.  I do have a partial spool of RG-8U 
from about 20 years ago that has never been off the roll (Saxton Brand - 200 
feet).  I just don't feel good about putting it on the tower.
 
The question is....what coax would you recommend?  I have seen many 
advertisements about certain coax, but what is the best for the dollar?
 
I have a 60 foot tower with the shack right under the tower since it is on a 
city log of 80 by 150 feet.  So, I do not need a lot of coax, but I want 
something that might be better.
 
Comments?  Recommendations?
