Tom, I bet RG-142B/U would work -- it is teflon with an outside diameter of
.195 and rated at 3.5KW at 50 MHz... The RF Connection has it
(www.therfc.com). You might ask them about RG-303 too -- although they are
east of the Mississippi (MD),you can order by e-mail. They are very
responsive to questions. The 142 is only slightly bigger in diameter than
the RG-303.
Pasternak also has RG-303 in Irvine, CA -- tel (949)261-1920, e-mail
