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?
