A quick check with EZNEC shows the following loss in the 30 feet of
RG213. The antenna was placed at 40 feet.
3.5 MHz 2.17 dB
7 MHz 1.95 dB
10.1 MHz 4.42 dB
14 MHz 6.5 dB
18.1 MHz 2.28 dB
21 MHz 3.1 dB
24.9 MHz 4.35 dB
28 MHz 3.12 dB
I didn't try to find a better solution, but different lengths of 450 ohm
line will produce a different set of answers and some lengths will
probably produce a set of numbers that is better than the one above.
