I would think a couple of sections of 3 inch rigid line should be ok!!! Ask your local FM broadcast stattion if they have any spare with extra flange mounts. LOLOL!!! Should be good for at least 50k watts. Dont forget to see if they have a spare dehydrator or Nitrogen system. Hey! Its better than radio Shack coax!!!! Dan

How can you judge the quality of coax when the only source in town is a Radio Shack? As I recall, they offered me RG58 and RG8X at other times. Seems like it was what was left over that they were willing to whack off for me. I didn't know any better: Still don't. What's the difference?

Get good cable for good prices at http://www.jefatech.com. They have a good LMR-600 heavy cable for pretty good prices, and it has excellent specs on VHF/UHF. Their LMR-400 type cable is also very good and for a great price. You can get them to build pre-made cables with whatever connectors you want on them for well. And they do a good job.
