[TowerTalk] looking for good coax for 6m

[David Gilbert]

It seems to me that you are the only one who would know how much loss 
you are willing to accept.  The specs for just about every imaginable 
type of coax are readily available online.

For example, 50 feet of 9913F7 has a loss of 0.55 dB and LMR600 has a 
loss of 0.35 dB.  I'm not sure if anyone here is going to know if that 
0.2 dB is important to you or not ... but I'm going to guess not.

73,
