I am making some receive antennas and the coax will be for the choke that goes through a torriod.  The cores I have would not take rg6. This is from the YCCC receive antenna array.

Mike,

What’s wrong with RG6? Or the DX Engineering version of it:

$0.30/foot

Plenty good for RX antenna use.

I am looking for a good source for RG-179 coax to build some RX antennas.  I tried an Ebay seller and got rg58!!####
