Re: Stus-List Antenna cable

[Frederick G Street via CnC-List]

Joel — I’d suggest LMR-400 low-loss cable.  The Times Microwave cable and 
EZ-400 UM solderless connectors are top-notch and work great; but you need the 
correct crimper die for the LMR-400 ferrules.  This place will make up cables 
(to MIL-SPEC) for you:

Personally, I'd go for RG8X or RG213.  True, the 213 has less loss but I
think you'll still be OK with the RG8X.  Buy a cable with one factory
end.   Put that end at the masthead.  Install it with a drip loop and a
grommet.
