Yeah, QSL, yeah, I use RG-8 and RG-213. The reason why, and I end up with lots of RG-213s. What happened was I was working with the Army Special Forces on a project and I was with the military. I should say I was working with the military. And basically what happened on that was the fact that when they left the project, the warehouse, they abandoned all those coax antennas and stuff. So when the guy's going over there, he says, Oh, you need your ham radio operator. He says, you want to take this coax? I says, sure I do. Man, yes. So I loaded it up with my pickup truck and hauled it home. And I've been using that for satellite antennas and different things and it has really low loss at higher frequencies. I want to make mention to the, that hasn't been mentioned out there to anybody, that be careful that you don't get some cable coax because the reason why that's 75 ohms. And then you'll have to try to match it to your load. And you can do that. And again, we'll also, also, so hams use the lateral line too for their HF antennas for matching and that. So it depends on what you need to do there. And I don't use smaller coax because it has too high a loss. Anyway, so that's actually about that. K6B, Gail. Beep.
