By my calculations, with a 3.7dBi stacked dipole, I need to only feed
it 217mW to get an EIRP of 500mW.... so with a 1 watt transmitter,
this means 40 metres of RG-58A cable to come in under the legal limit,
and at $1.80/metre... that's $72 worth of cable.

Is there an ever crappier, lossier cable type I could use? Or a
special way to attenuate the signal further?
