Please report back with the cable manufacturer and number.  I am using Belden 1829BC on a 500 ft run between a remote COM shelter and Hi-Z 8-circle array.  It was the only RG6-class cable I found that is gel-flooded, has a complete braid + foil, and a solid-copper center conductor.  Most RG6 cables are copper-clad.  The solid inner is important when DC power-passing to devices over a long cable run.  A 1000 ft spool was purchased from Markertek.  No issues with dielectric or center conductor expansion.
