The furtheresr I have reached is Mt beacon in Southern NY (about 100 miles away). I have also have reached several repeaters in CT (about 80-100 miles away. Also as far east as Worcester, MA (90 miles away). I use 9913 cable, tough cable due to hard to bend. 9913 has less than 1 db of loss at 100 ft, I’m running 75 feet..Good luck!! 73’s Dave N1yfg

Does this one work well for you? How far have you talked on it without skipping? Also have you been able to talk DX with it?
Thanks
Larry
