Sure, particularly on 30MHz and below. Above 30MHz, the loss is about 4-8 DB
per 100 feet, so for a 2-meter run of that length, you don't want to skimp on
the quality of coax. You might even consider hard-line for that if you can find
some that is not too pricey.

Subject: length of coax
I finally got a tower. 40 ft. I now have a problem though. I can only
put the tower in one place. I will need to run abount 200 of coax to
get from the top of the tower to the radio. I realize that the shorter
the run the better the reception and probably the transmition. How much
of a loss will I experience? I guess what I am trying to ask is can I
live with the loss?
