can shoehorn another RG-8x throught the compression post and mast step.
I know I'll never be able to fit the Belden 9914F I have lying around...



All my antennas are run with military surplus RG-58A/U. The mast is 55'
and the base of it is around 35' from the VHF at the nav station, as the
cable is run. It hears and transmits great, even on 1 watt. You don't
need the fancy cable to get to the horizon with a 50' antenna...(c;

I do like 58A with its flexible, stranded center conductor....
