ALl I have available in my areas is RG 6 or RG58. I know 58 is 50 ohm
and 6 is 75. SOmeone said using 75 ohm would cause my swr meter not to
read right. I only need about 10 feet of cable to "test" some antennas
I am going to build this weekend.

Should I just use rg 58?


That depends upon what frequency and how much power you'll be using.

600 watts on 432? no

100 watts on 10 meters? sure !
