RG-58 is just fine for receiving below 30 megaHertz. Using bigger
cable is a waste.

I'm learning alot from this NG!
I have a couple of questions: My antenna (RF Systems MTA) installation
will require a 60' run of coax, which of these coaxes would be the most
efficient for SW and MW listening, RG-8, RG-8U or RG-8X?
I already have 50' of RG-8 and 50' of RG-8U but, I've noticed that
Universal Radio is selling the RG-8X.
After spending big $$$ on this antenna I just want to make sure that I
get the most I can from it!!!
I also have a Archer Antenna Discharge Unit Radio Shack Catalog #
20-021, should I use this in this installation?
Thanks in advance for your help!
