I am using Belden 9913F7 (9913 flex) for all of the runs on my tower (4
Yagi's). It is similar to 9913 for loss and vf, but has solid rather than
air dielectric, which avoids the moisture problem. I bought a 1000 foot
roll for about $600 (incl shipping), but that was more than a year ago. The
price may be up by $50 or so by now.

"Why not use a single piece of LMR-400 flex? It'd have still less loss and I
believe it's cheaper than 213."
Nay nay ix-nay
RG213 (or RG8) is ~$0.40/ft
LMR400 solid is ~$0.53/ft
LMR400UF STRAND is ~$0.75/ft
