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.

I'm about to put up a V2000 6m/2m/70cm antenna. I've used 9913 in the past
for 2m, but it's awfully stiff and expensive. I'm thinking of going with
RG8 or a variant of RG8. Are they all the same? I want to minimize loss of
course. Recommendations?

BTW, what does the RG number signify anyway? The size? The construction?
