I'll have some fairly long runs of coax to HF antennas (21Mhz max) to
Field Day antennas. One of the antennas will be an 80M G5RV with their
usual nasty SWRs so a foam-type cable is indicated. Since it's a very
temporary non-critical installation I'm not about to spend premium
bucks on 9913 or any of it's relatives like I do for the home station.
A non-contaminating jacket would be nice but is not much of an issue.
Does anybody have any suggestions about vendors who are selling foam
RG-8 for lower-than-usual prices?

Thanks, Brian w3rv


Could you get hold of 75 ohm cable instead? G5RV recommended it for this
antenna anyway and regardless of what you use you will need a tuner.
RG 59 may be cheaper and CATV cable may be free or someone may have enough
to help you out.
