If the wire will work just as good, I wil do that.



It will work fine. Just make sure all the wires have a good connection
to the shield of the coax.

I wouldn't even mess with running a coax out that far. It's just not
worth the effort. You would be better off using what you have around
the house. Got a flagpole?



No. And I can't put one in front of my house, because the septic drain field is
there.



Septic fields have very low ground resistance and make for great
outdoor antennas. They are also an ideal place to sink a couple ground
rods for lightning protection..... something you shouldn't ignore even
with an indoor antenna.
