Hi Dave

We used RG6 (Belden 1829A) cables with F connectors for most of our 80M and 
160M antennas at the ZL6QH Quartz Hill station. We had no problems running 
the NZ legal limit (500W) into these feed line systems.

I think I saw someone talk about using RG-6 75 ohm coax at a full KW
and F connectors on 160, but I cannot remember if it was on this
reflector. I have some "high Quality" RG-6 cable with the "right" vp,
but before trying this I would like to hear from someone who has
successfully done this already.
