RG-174 is great for some purposes.

Long, long ago I used it to feed an antenna (in the 5 MHz region) that had
to be invisible. Its small size was a great aid to that task. A short
piece of the stuff also makes an effective garrote because of the steel
strands in the center conductor.

As everyone else has said (more than once), the "Bazooka" antenna is
rarely worthwhile.

If you want a really broad-banded Bazooka, use RG-174. :-)
Advantages: light weight for easy back-packing, no tuner
required, inexpensive coax, ... Hey, maybe I should keep
it secret until I market it for $100.
