Could anyone please suggest a type of COAX to use? I moved my tower
away from my house recently and I just put it up about 200 ft from
the back of my house. I recently passed CW and I had to take the
tower down. The plan is to run the cable through 2" buried
PVC.Anyway I havent been able CW since i took my tower down to get
it away from my house, but I wanna get back on the key because I had
alot of fun... plus it will get me back to studying for
general...anyway I want to put the tower up right and I dont want to
have a lot of loss... some of the QRP CW stations were hard enough
to pull out of the static, even with that short 100ft LMR cable I
was using before.

Thanks for the help

You dont specify the operating frequency.. If you are talking HF I doubt
that coax quality is going to help with CW signals in the noise. Both
the signal and noise will be attenuated by 'bad' coax but they will
still have the same s/n at the RX. (ie atmospheric noise is far above RX
noise)

I'd say that even at 10MHz using RG58 the losses arent excessive (about
1.5dB)

If you want better s/n I think you are going to have to experiment with
directive antennas or other noise reduction techniques.
