Thank you all. for the advice and information. I will go to RG-8 all the
way. I just hated putting that big hole in my plaster wall. Oh well want the
power more than the plaster.

Does anyone have experience with how much power can be run through rg-58
versus rg-8. I am purchasing an Ameritron al-80B and will be running about
1K out. Can I still get away with RG-58? I will be using 160 thru 40
meters. I have a 200 foot run of RG-8 running to my antenna site, but I
hate to feed the dipole with something so heavy as RG-8.

thanks in advance for any help
