Coax?.......good question. I assume you are using it for HF work and
perhaps 2 meter repeater work. In that case I suggest LMR 400. If cost is
not a
concern, go with the flexible stuff all the way up. If cost is a concern,
pigtail the flexy stuff for the rotor and run the solid the rest of the way
down. The 400 is easy to work with a mates up nicely with the standard PL 259
connectors. A run of around 75 feet should cost no more than around 75 bucks
including shipping.
Lots of guys spend a few thousand on radios, towers and antennas, and then
cheap out on the coax....not very good idea. Save the new/old RG8 for 80
meter dipoles. Better yet, sell it at a hamfest or on ebay to help pay for
the
good coax.
