what coax is good to 900mhz? i am looking for something as thin and
supple as i can find. i tried a hunk of coax off of an old cb antenna
(wishful thinking) with no luck. should this work? or is hf coax no
good at 900 mhz? i built a ten element yagi off a plan i found on the
net. it should be a rocket ship but its not as good as a wide band
rubber ducky that i have. i am trying to receive a 900mhz wireless
microphone from a distance of about 200 yards. any ideas?

LMR195 uses the same connectors as RG58, and has about 11dB loss /
100' at 900 MHz. You should find it stocked in the WLAN outlets, with
or without connectors.

Another thought is to salvage some foil/foam RG58 style cable from a
car mobile phone antenna.
