Is there a difference between a "Skywire" coax cable and a regular
coax cable you get from Radio Shack in terms of quality or
compatibilities?

I think Grove Enterprises (reseller of equipment and publisher of Monitoring
Times) might have trademark to an HF antenna called "Grove Skywire". It is
an insulated coax-type antenna that functions as a long wire or random wire,
depending on how much of it you put up.

Radio Shack's RG-58U is a heavy duty and reliable coax that provides many
years of low-loss service. I eventually replaced all of mine with more
expensive Belden equivalents but doubt there is much difference in velocity
or shielding, etc.
