I'm going to be changing cables for my VHF/UHF receivers & antennas. I was wondering what would be the best type for a cable run of less than 75 feet?

But RG6 is 75 ohm cabling, would that not result in a mismatch?

For those of you who cannot relate dBs, S-units, etc., a 3 dB loss would cut the signal strength in half. A 6 dB signal loss would cut the signal strength in half again. A 10 dB signal loss would reduce the signal strength to one-tenth.

A common mis-conception; a 3 dB loss doesn't cut the signal strength in half; 6 dB is half signal strength. Receiver sensitivity is measured in microvolts not watts. A receiver with an S meter reads 6 dB difference between each S unit, example: a reading of S7 is 6 dB less than a reading of S8.
