Hmmm.  Still would go for lower loss.  If it works to your satisfaction
however that is ok.

Hi
     In my case I bought a 100 foot length and it worked well. Well,
until it had a close encounter with a lawn mower. Then I had two pieces
of unknown length. So, with a little help from one of my brother in laws
I ran two runs of 174 cox above head level, one for HF and the other for
2 meters. On one watt I can hit two repeaters and on seven I can get
four. I could hit even more when I get the CTCSS tones all figured out.
For the moment I am hitting almost every thing I want any way.

God bless,
Mark
God loves you!
