Loss isn't a huge issue, but the big issue is wear on the cable. If
you're planning on leaving this coax above ground, it will see a good
deal of UV. If you bury it or have it on the ground, animals and water
will be a problem (along with winter ground temp changes, depending on
your climate). I will be using buryflex later this summer when I put up
an RX loop (the coax run will be above ground), if only because I don't
feel like replacing it for a while...and it was free. Good luck,
