It will work fine. SWR will be moderate, and loss in RG8 is 
negligible at 1.8 MHz. Heck -- Although I wouldn't recommend it, 
I've even tuned a vertical that was close to a half wave on 80 
meters, fed with about 35 ft of RG8, from the shack! It worked, 
except at the part of the band where it was almost exactly a half 
wave. Your application is far less difficult.
