Hi Richard,
Please provide a little more information so that your question can be answered more accurately. At what frequencies will you be using your coax? Will your coax be buried or laid on the ground, or will it not be in contact with the ground at all? Many coaxial cables have a vinyl jacket which is very susceptible to moisture penetration if buried or laid on moist ground. Are rodents (squirrels, mice, etc) a problem in your area? Vinyl jacketed coax is very susceptible to rodent damage which will quickly increase your coax loss. 73 Frank W3LPL From: Richard <[email protected]> To: Elecraft Reflector <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, February 26, 2018 8:35 AM Subject: [Elecraft] RG-8X I’m seeking recommendations for RG-8X coax with the lowest loss. The total run will be about 100 feet. Cheers!
