Just got some pictures uploaded of another one of my AP sites if you want to check it out. This site is completely all COAX with no radio's at top! 150 foot tower that is all LMR-900. Check it out and I'll answer any questions. Just trying to help you guys out. I did this one all coax cause lightning was a PITA here. LMR-900 was $3.60/foot and there is 5 runs but I think it's worth it.

LMR-400 is the minimum cable size for that on 2.4GHz. You will need an amp. At 5GHz, I would expect LMR-600 or better. However, at 5GHz, I think I would go with tower top radios. I doubt that you will get good results at 5GHz with that kind of cable run. RG8 cable is useless for anything we do as wisps.
