[TowerTalk] Transitioning from 7/8" Hardline inside the house

[Hector Garcia XE2K]

Jim
What I will do is depending of the length of the run after the 7/8, if the run 
is long  than cross the wall will use LMR 400, Buryflex , the new DXE cables or 
any of the new low loss
if the length is longer than  25 ft will use  1/2 inch super flex  or something  
bigger , keep in mind that my  loss in the feed line need  to be the minimal  up 
to 50 mhz
I have in mind always be below the 1 Db loss in the full length  of the 
feedline.

If you have Hard line  and need a pig tail  use  double shield cable , my 
recommendation, in my case made the difference

After running a big heliax line from the antenna to the house service
entrance and properly bonding it (of course) what sort of run strategies do
folks take from there to where the rig sits in the house? Do you continue
most of the way with heliax or do you drop down to a more flexible but
lossy RG8 or 8X for the rest of the run?

Pics/links welcome.
