Default I hate to say it but there sure is a bunch of ignorance here concerning VHF antennas

To be honest, I'd probably go for the 214 as well - "just because". I
still don't think it would make a bit of difference as far as my level
of safety, now or 20 years from now. The cable will be well protected
INSIDE the mast and INSIDE the cabin. Very little, if any, will be
exposed to the elements. Careful attention to installation and
waterproof connections is what matters more than the differences
between "really good" and "slightly better than really good".

From the brief reading I did, the connections are indeed more
important than minor differences in cable.
"Liquid electric tape" was one item mentioned.
Whole other can of contention probably.
Anybody care to open it?
