At these frequencies there should be little loss from the coax unless it is damaged or full of water. In that case I would expect the swr to be high though.

If you can't tell us freq they were using in desert storm how or how far they were trying to communicate how can it possibly be relevant? You are giving the advice here so those other people's strapping signals are irrelevant. We got sidetracked and now you're too caught up in the pissing match to refocus on the original topic. I was on 3865 this morning in that time frame and heard nothing. You guys are using low antennas just like me and we've established that they are not great DX antennas. I have made contacts with crappy antennas too but that is also irrelevant. I have tried to keep my comments limited to personal experience with local communication on the lower frequencies. You keep reaching out for something or someone to prove me wrong because it doesn't fall inline with what you've read.
