Default Are all RG8s created equal?

I just picked up 200 ft of rg8 at radio shack for 40 bucks. 10 bucks for 50
foot run. Anyways, there was a website I came across recently that showed
the swr rating of different size rg cables based on band. I searched for
rg8 and the site popped up. It was complete with charts, etc. Very nice.
It only takes a few minutes to find if you don't mind trudging through the
sites.

You really don't know for sure unless you measure it. Not a big deal
if you've got a dummy load and a in-line watt meter.

RG-8 is a type not a specification.
