The original post by W4KBX was this: "I’m seeking recommendations for RG-8X coax with the lowest loss. The total run will be about 100 feet."
You cannot defy physics and have low loss with 1/4" coax, no matter who the manufacture is, but RG8X was his criteria.

My thinking, I would cringe at putting up a nice yagi such as this and not use the feedline with the lowest loss possible. Most likely Andrew LDF4-50A hardline. Me too! The 350 ft run from my shack to the 3-el SteppIR is 7/8-in hardline, transitioning to a short length of flexible coax for the rotator loop. Scrounged the hard line used for roughly $1/ft. Loss is about 1 dB on 6M. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
