just for UHF and VHF I don't use RG-58 if I can at all help it, even my
mobile setup and I do plan on having 20 feet of coax to work with, when I'm
on vacation I might just need it if I can get the antenna where I want it
and who knows what other fun I'll have with it. When I'm ready to make it
I'll figure out what I'll do, Not just yet.
