Cheapest RG58 coax "of course", but I was wondering if the loss between the cable and the antenna could be mitigated with permanently mounted cable, like this one?: Shakespeare V-Tronix Stainless Steel Antenna, MD20
If there is no/very little loss with a permanently mounted cable, on my 18m run the above kit would be almost equivalent to an RG213 trough a pl-259 especially with the lack my crimping-soldering skills...
Can't recall if Salty John's Manta's were permanently mounted RG8x kits or the cable joined via a PL-259?
