The coax I was using at the Fulshear Farmers Market was RG8X. It's
diameter is similar to RG-58 but it works a lot better that RG-58. I've
also used RG-174 which is pretty lossy above HF, but for my portable
setup it didn't make much difference, and I'm able to carry 150' in my
bug out bag.

Venkata, I'm also new to this as well. What I have been using is very close
to the MFJ 1979, its a 17ft whip sold by Wolf river coils. They sell the
whip, plus several mounting options. I have their large tripod set up.
They also have a coil they make that you can put under the whip a

Thanks Chris. Excited to be a part of the hobby and learn something new.
Thanks for the coax suggestion. I will check the 8U cable. I am guessing I
would need somewhere in the 50-75 ft length to make sure I can feed it into the
room.

Firstly, welcome to the hobby.
Secondly, I dont know anything about this antenna except for what I just read
on dx engineering. But 17ft is quarter wave on 20m.
Maybe someone can give you better info on the antenna…
I can say, if you are wanting to setup when you want to run hf and then tear
do
email.
Thanks,

Hello all,
I am working on setting up a temporary HF antenna that I can setup or
take down when not in use. For this, I am exploring MFJ 1979 telescope antenna.
I am not sure if this is the right choice yet. My idea was to use some
mount(yet to figure this out) in the backyard, run the c
