Good idea, Dave. Another excellent way to do that is SimSmith, which
has data for most popular coax, lets you enter your own data, lets you
specify any load, and computes loss in the entire run and in each part
of the run. Freeware, by AE6TY. Runs in JAVA.
That's a small part of what it can do. I use it extensively to design
matching networks, model effectiveness of stubs, etc.

Thanks for the thought. I developed an Excel spreadsheet for our 6Gs
DXpeditions (TX6G, E6GG, ZL7G) that does the same as the arrg calculator but
allows multiple segments each with selectable coax types to give a
transceiver-to-antenna loss figure, so I can see the effect of cable selection
on overall and segment loss;
