Ah, shortsighted Jimbo:

Consider these: Damage to one of the coaxes, for example. And what about rotator cable? Or suppose you get interested
in another band or mode? My advice to people building new homes is to run conduit wherever you are going to need it,
and make it as big as practical. Then you can pull whatever coax you need, and upgrade when you feel like it. Or at
least be sure there are accessible pull wires wherever they might be needed. And coax has a limited lifetime anyway.

I am building a new house. I need two coax runs inside the house for
two uses. First, for 2 meter, 440 MHz dual band. Second for 2-30 MHz
HF. I am considering using RG213/U for both runs. I know this coax is
suitable for 440 MHz on runs less than 100 feet. Would there be any
problems for the 2 meter or HF using this coax? Or are there any
suggestions for this project?

Thanks, jimbo
