Topband: one small point re RG6

One small point, flooded cable does not resist varmints.  It has a 
material that will ooze out of nicks and cuts to reseal the plastic 
outer PVC before there is water ingress.

I agree with Jim that for the price, RG6 is the way to go. Use the 
new compression connectors and a F-UHF adapter and you are good to 
go. I do not recommend trying to get UHF connectors on to RG6. I have 
done it and it is a PITA.
