    I saw the video from a very respected Ham guru on YouTube. He said the same thing and went into detail about the effects of the height off the ground has on the horizontal dipole and the aim of the signal for farthest distance.

    I want to give credit where it's due. This video was kindly posted by Booty Monster on this thread.

    Why not LMR-400?

    That is good stuff. I bought 3 jumpers of that stuff 18" long, but it is a little stiff to work with!

    I run LMR-400 to my antenna straight out my radio. When I check SWR I use a 3' RG-213 jumper. If I hook up my big amp I have a 12' RG-213 jumper. I keep the amp in the garage. Its a bit of a hassle but I have a wall tube to pull my coax out to garage and then hooks to keep it stretched out. Takes about 5 mins. I leave the 12 foot jumper in place. I also have a wall plate with a shorted SO connector leading directly outside to my ground system. When the storms come I hook that up in case of strikes.

    I got a laugh out of the full wave where he says you need to use balanced line due to very high impedance but if you want to use coax then you should get the 1/2 wave, then he puts a coax connector on it?
