They swear by it because they don't want to admit they blew a wad of cash
for nothing. You didn't say how long your coax is but you infered about 50
feet. With that short of a length, no matter what you changed to you would
never notice a difference. Look up the numbers. Easy way to test. Take your
radio out to the base of the antenna. Run as short a piece of coax as you
can to your radio. See if you can tell any difference.

Ralph, that's what I hear from other SWL'ers too. But, there are those
that
swear by it. So, it'd just be an interesting test... albeit and expensive
one... ;o)
