Thanks, Mike.

Aside from one local repeater, which is about a mile from the home QTH, 440 
activity here in my part of semi-rural west-central lower Michigan is very 
limited.  So, it sounds like I'll be ok.

Appreciate the encouragement.

John is correct.

Use the RG213, and don't look back.

While it is not as good as 9913 on 440, it is better than most RG8
types.

And, you would be hard pressed to notice the difference on 2 meters,
especially with only a 50 foot run.
