Super coax! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I use Aircell7 for everything from 160m to 70cm.
It's incredible good.
At any VSWR you can pump 1.2KW into it and my signal is always big.
Here in Europe people think RG58 is good enough for HF, how mistaken they are but they simply don't look at attenuation.
On HF is where Aircell7 is almost lossless, as such you pump pretty much all power into the antenna no matter the VSWR.
RG213 is not as good as it has a slow dialectricum.
You can't beat high speed coax on any band, it works just as good as openline. Attenuation and speed is the key.
Sadly many hams overlook this as not important on HF.
Well 3dB loss is 1/2th of the power is lost and at bad VSWR it's even more, upto 9dB!
This coax is about 0,5dB at 80~160m....do the math.

fantastic cable Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Years ago, I ordered RG213. The seller gave me the aircell and two gold plated (the pin) connectors for the same price. Since then I have been looking for this cable and connectors but I always ended up to other cables. That's because, it is hard to find it in a shop. Connectors are not common too. The Aircell cable is quite flexible, durable, very well shielded, low loss. It would be my preferite, but as said it is a bit hard to find it. Compared to other cables the cellflex has lower losses but the aircell is less expensive, it is probably more flexible and smaller in size. Larger than the rg58) and smaller than the rg 213, it has a lot of copper inside.

Low Loss Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I used the Aircell 7 Cable on 145MHz, 432MHz and on the Lowbands. It is flexible, easy to handle and has a low Loss. The Double Shielding is a fine Extra.
