[TowerTalk] Looking for a light coaxial

[Gedas]

OP did not specify the feed point height but I have used RG-142 in 
similar situations to get me from the matched feedpoint down to ground 
level. Then transition to something like LMR400 (or a clone) for the low 
loss aspects etc to get me into the shack. The different in matched loss 
between RG-142 and LMR400 for a 100' length at 80m is only ~1/2 dB. Have 
NEVER had any issues because it uses a solid (and stiff) center 
conductor when you properly strain relieve it at the feedpoint.

Light travels faster than sound....
This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
