Ray,
The make of the antenna is irrelevant. The best choice for a jumper,
IMHO, is RG-214. This should be made up with high-quality connectors to
directly mate your LDF4 hardline to the antenna without any adaptors.
Adhesive-coated heat-shrink tubing should be used to seal the connectors
to the cable, and bi-seal tape should be used to weatherproof the
connectors. I sincerely hope that your antenna site does not have any
wind at all, because the Diamond F23A is not an antenna that has a good
reputation for longevity in hilltop repeater service. As always, your
mileage may vary...

Just wondering what is the best cable to use as a pigtail, coming from
the antenna? 18 inch length is all I'm curious about. The antenna I
have is a Diamond F23A, if that helps. The rest of the transmission
line is LDF4 1/2 inch hardline going towards the repeater.
