Re: RG-8 vs RG-6 universal antenna cable?

Generally I see LMR cable recommended for wifi antenna cable.  LMR-100 for
short (< 6 ft) pigtails from the PCMCIA card to the antenna or LMR-400 for
longer runs (50-100ft).  There are also higher grades of LMR...LMR-600,
etc. but it gets expensive (and physically large) fast.  The issue at hand
is signal loss over long cable runs.  Using poor cable may eliminate any
gains you may have from a high gain antenna or powerful transmitter.
