213 has less loss but not enough to realy worry about .....
EXCEPT for RADIO SHACK most rg-8 coax is just fine up to 440 mhz.
On 6 since 66

Dale id use the lmr 400 type cable but it wont work well with the rotor its too stiff so youd have to add connectors at the top of the tower and before you enter the shack and that will lead to premature failure of things in the long run unless it can with stand all the twisting and turning |
