It's so magic, that my Radio Shack 5/8 wave 2 meter antenna came with 18
feet of that magic ****ty RG-58. It it didn't have a special connector
on the antenna side, I'd have replaced it. It does work better since I
removed it from the magnet and drilled a hole and mounted it properly.

As an aside, now it can't be knocked over by branches or by removing snow.
