The original post by W4KBX was this: "I’m seeking recommendations for
RG-8X coax with the lowest loss. The total run will be about 100 feet."
You cannot defy physics and have low loss with 1/4" coax, no matter who
the manufacture is, but RG8X was his criteria.

My thinking, I would cringe at putting up a nice yagi such as this and
not use the feedline with the lowest loss possible. Most likely Andrew
LDF4-50A hardline.
Me too! The 350 ft run from my shack to the 3-el SteppIR is 7/8-in
hardline, transitioning to a short length of flexible coax for the
rotator loop. Scrounged the hard line used for roughly $1/ft. Loss is
about 1 dB on 6M.
