Thank you for your response. Again, money is not the issue or priority. Knowing that I am getting the best signal within reason (my reason <wink and grin> ) Tangentially, you have provided me with the information I require. As I do not know what I will hang off the end of that antenna in the future and I am in fact going to be doing some measurement/experimentation, I will use something better than RG-59 or RG-6 (even if it is only "better" in my opinion).
I am an incurable over-engineer... and this IS "Time NUTS" after all. <smile> Thank to you AND to ALL who have made recommendations thusfar.... especially the ones with whom I disagree. Those are the recommendations that keep me from completely abandoning rational decision-making. <big grin> 73, ______________________ Clay Autery, KY5G MONTAC Enterprises (318) 518-1389 On 9/2/2017 3:27 PM, Mark Sims wrote: > Cheap RG-59 cable coax is more than sufficient for 50 .. 150+ feet (unless > you are doing geodetic level GPS work).
