Thing is with that short of a run, any of the smaller coaxes will work just fine and he'd never know the difference 10 to 15 feet anything will work!

LMR-400 works very well, and for higher flexibility requirements, you can use LMR-400 ultra flex. It's loss is very close to 9913, without some of the 9913 varieties problems. I replaced all my 9913 with LMR-400 years ago, and all my water problems went away, never to return.

After problems I had on Field Day in trying to operate the satellites, I am looking to upgrade the coax I use between the preamps and the antennas. I am using 9913FX from the IC-910H and the preamps. I had been using RG Mini 8/U for the connection between the preamps and antennas. Should I also use 9913FX between the preamps and the antennas? The run between the radio and the preamp is 50 ft. The run from the preamp to the antennas is about 10 - 15 ft depending on where I set the antennas up. I am concerned about how flexible the 9913FX would be in terms of the antennas rotating back and forth. I was planning on ordering the cables pre-made from CableXperts since working with N connectors isnt my strong point and dont want to worry about my soldering and having a good connection on both ends of the cable.
Any suggestions appreciated.
