[TowerTalk] RG-8X vs RG-8 - LMR-400 ect

[Dan Hearn]

> http://www.hamuniverse.com/coaxdata.html  These are real life numbers not
imaginary ones. There is even a discussion of the practical significance of
2 or 3 db.The short answer for your situation is that the difference is
negligible. 73, Dan, N5AR

Has anyone compared in real life RG-8x to the larger diameter coaxes for use
on HF only.

I know it cant compare above 30 mhz.

I am thinking about a 100' run frm the shack to the antenna using RG8x

Luke 14:28-30

 28"Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down
and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to
complete it? 29For if he lays the foundation and is not able to finish it,
everyone who sees it will ridicule him, 30saying, 'This
fellow began to build and was not able to finish.'
