[MLB-WIRELESS] Give me some of that good cable....

[Greg]

Guys please see this page
http://www.amsat.org/amsat/articles/houston-net/coax.html
for a good overall rundown on coax.
Ham satellites are not as high as 2.4Ghz and they would only use RG58 as an
extremly ineficient dummy load! DONT use it and reduce your connector count
as much as possible as well.
