TopBand: Coax use

[Larry Menzel]

Topbanders,

Well, I'm happy to report that two beverages went back up yesterday, with
three more to follow...maybe two today.  The horses are off the pasture
now, soooo...beverages back up.

Question:  Last year I had the terminal point closer to my shack, so I used
an old piece of RG8...seemed to work fine.  This year I moved the antenna
switch and bev terminus about 100 feet further from the shack.  I'd like to
use a bunch of RG58 that I have hanging in the shop.

Will RG58 suffice for the run from the switch to the shack...about 150
feet, or should I use a lower loss coax?

Thanks in advance, and looking forward to the coming season of topband dxing.
