Been using RG8X and RG11 for 25 years on all my loops for 80 meters.   Work 
fine with 1500 W.

Hello...
It was 68 degrees today and the 80m delta loop is  up and ready to connect 
to a 75ohm matching transformer. I know I can use  RG11, but I was wondering 
if:
1. There is a thinner version that  will handle 1.5kw on 80m...ala RG8X?
2. Will RG59 handle the  power?
3. Any good sources to buy a small piece of RG11 (probably  50ft). Most 
places sell in bigger quantities.
4. To calculate the  length of the transformer, is it 234/f X  VF?
Thanks,
Carol
