Rick's point is well made. Take a look at these measurements from about 10 
years ago.

Before falling in love with a cable, it is worthwhile to check its impedance 
accuracy vs frequency and its low frequency loss and the consistency of its 
velocity factor.  Once you do this, you will never again buy cable from the big 
box stores, no matter how easy it is to put on F connectors.
