The RG6U will work. The velocity factor might be different so if they are
using the 75 ohm coax for phasing or matching you will want to check the
velocity factor so you cut the lines to the right length.
I have seen loops made out of coax as well. I don't recall the length of
the loop to be critical.
Give us some more details, what kind of loop, what are the dimensions,
describe the project in more detail.

Subject: [TowerTalk] 160 Receiving Loop Question
I am building a 160 receiving loop antenna. It calls for RG-59/U.
I have a length of fairly decent quality RG-6/U. Not having any antenna
software programs I am not sure if I can just use the RG-6.
Any thoughts ?
