Hi Len

We used RG6 cable and F connectors with good success at ZL6QH for
feeding our low band transmitting antennas. I also use it for the
dipole antennas at my home QTH - on all bands from 160M to 10M and up
to 500W of RF power. The losses are negligible and this cable has the
additional advantages of being low cost, light weight, resistant to
water ingress (using RG6 that is flooded with grease) and easy to
terminate in the field.
