I'm thinking about buying this antenna and the "cable length for optimum performance" is 78' does that mean you can't use a coax or over 78 feet? I was thinking about buying that antenna with 100 feet of cable with 2x 3 feet jumpers for my swr member and the tvi filter.

I had a Midland one which was about the same as the workman and found no real problem with coax.What they are doing is using the coax as part of the matching ....
I wound a coil of 10 turns of coax at the bottom of my antenna to form a balum and it worked fine.
The midland one was about 40 inches tall and not a good antenna .... IT DID WORK JUST NOT LIKE A A-99 .... but if you need to hide a antenna it will get you on the air.
