The problem with 9913 is the air dielectric within. Overtime
condensation forms and turns it into a "water pipe". If you
are going to spend the $$ on 9913 get the LMR-400 from Times
Fiber & Cable instead.
Another good "receive only" cable to use is RG-11, a 75 ohm
cable that has about the same thickness as 9913 or LMR-400.
In my opinion there's no such thing as overkill when buying
coax. You obviously want as little loss as possible, so get
the most bang for the bucks you have available for the project.
