Hi Guys,
 
I'm wondering what the typical resistance should measure on a 100'  length 
of RG-8 coax with one end shorted?  I'm measuring 1.5 ohms when  shorting 
one end of a 240' length of RG-8 ... is that about normal?
 
Question 2: Measuring in the above manner, should the resistance increase  
as the coax gets a few years old?
 
I'm looking for a simple way of determining the aprx. efficiency of  older 
RG-8.
