I don't understand that. What does the type of antenna have to do with the
length of the run?
Do Heliax antennas have a couple of dB gain over other antennas? I can fix
attenuation in coax with an amplifier. So the more interesting question is
probably something like: Do Heliax antennas have better signal/noise ratio
than other antennas?

Is that part of the antenna, or just lightning protection?
