"Most efficient"... :?:

Go to the antenna topic and click on the coax comparison chart that's in Hamin' X's link. Enter the required information for a given variety of coax and see the dynamics for yourself. Try several different varieties, keeping the power and frequency constant. Also, enter "1.5" for the SWR for a real-world figure. No antenna other than a dummy load is going to have a 1:1 SWR at more than a very narrow range of frequencies.

The antenna topic's "stickys" should be required reading for everybody who's into radio.
