yes 75 ohm cable is what we use for cable TV, you can get an rg11 type cable that is similar in size to the 9913 but is 75 ohm nominal.

Thanks for that i was just a bit surprised to see a type f connector on antenna and all my other antennas have N type/Pl259 and i been in the hobby for over 30 years and thats the first i ever seen a connection on an antenna except tv aerials,the 75 Ohm is nominal on that antenna.
