When the weather gets better I'm planning to go up with one of two scanner
antennas I have sitting in my garage. Unless someone talks me out of it,

I'm
planning on using RG-6 for my scanner antenna and RG-58 for my inverted V
shortwave antenna. I'm planning on putting the scanner ant on top of pole
and fastening top of B&W V several feet under the scanner antenna.


While the losses below 30 mhz in coax does not mean very much from one type
to another, you might as well use the rg-6 for both antennas . The only
drawback for you is that much of the rg-6 does not use a copper shield and
can be difficult to make a connection to unless using a crimped type of
connector for the shield.
