Is there a good way to connect a 2 meter radio to an antenna on a
nearby hill without using a cable? The radio is down in a small
valley with bad propogation and putting the antenna about 1,000 feet
away should work. Thanks.

What would you use if not coax? A string? I would think with even the
best coax, a thousand feet would be more loss then what you would gain
by the height of the antenna.
If you have power on the hill, using two duel band radios might get you
what you want!
