Topband: PL 259 for RG6

[Jon Zaimes AA1K]

I've used lots of RG-6 over the years for transmitting. It handles full 
power fine, even through F connectors (got that tip years ago from KM1H) 
for various antennas 160-10m. Though most of mine is hard-wired.

Mine wasn't new either -- most scrounged from dumpster at local CATV 
company in the '80s or picked up at flea markets.
