Hi,

Just getting started with all of this, and want to say a quick thanks to
everyone for all the help.

Another question:

Am I interpreting this more or less correctly:

Looking at all the different types of coax available.
Will be for a receive-only HF antenna.
Antenna will have to be in the backyard about 150 feet or so from house.

The db losses are beginning to add up; at the upper limit of my interest of
30 MHz
we are getting close to around 3.5 db or so.

Is it correct for me to say that the actual losses really aren't all that
significant or meaningful,
and that a good receiver, which I have, can easily make up for them ?

That the only thing of real concern would be the S/N ?

What are the caveats to my statement above ?

Thanks,
Bob
