If you make a harness for that antenna use RG-59 or RG-11 - 75 ohm Cable
to get match , don't use RG-58 or RG-8 it won't work , and it doesn't have
to be Cushcraft can be other brands many manufactures made them I have one
made by Hy Gain it also has "n" connectors. Worked better than a lot of
those fiberglass pieces of junk never put one of them up that lasted over a
year . I took A 4 bay down that had been up over 20 years and it did a
better job than the one we replaced it with . RG-59 will handle 100 watts
but loss is grater than RG-11 .
