I am working on a grounding plan, but I need to move my station to the other end of the camper and I'm short on coax. Is 45 feet of Rg8x too lossy, or would that be ok? I've only done short runs in mobiles before, so I have never researched longer runs and I'd like to get some coax shipped today. Thanks

It just dawned on me to find a calculator, and it said a .6dB loss with 8x compared to 400. Seems like a lot to me, but I'm not sure of the real world difference
