Went to Home Depot to pick up RG-6 for the beverage.
There appears to be several flavors of RG-6, the heaviest and most cost is
one claiming extra shielding.
(quad shielding?) The price looks ok even for the extra shielding at
60$/500 ft.
My understanding is better shielding is less likely to effect the beverage
pattern.
Thoughts & comments on the various types of RG-6 as to shielding. I
don't think they have the "flooded" type or that I could find it local
(since it's required by next weekend.)

PS: I did a search on RG6 but didn't note any comments on the various
types as to shielding.
