Default High Quality {Low Noise} Coax Cable for Shortwave Listening (SWL) Antennas ? - - - Why Not Quad-Shield RG6 !

Lenny,

{Sorry 'if' Reply this is a repost - I am trying again since this did
not show up in a few minutes; after I posted it the first time.}

High Quality {Low Noise} Coax Cable for Shortwave Listening
(SWL) Antennas ? - - - Why Not Quad-Shield RG6 !
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Shortw.../message/11783

RG6 Quad-Shield works well and is readily available at a
reasonable price. Use "F" Connector to SO-239/PL-259
Adapters as needed. Or have BNC Connectors installed
on the RG6 and then go from BNC to SO-239/PL-259.

WHY NOT BUILD YOUR OWN RG6 QUAD-SHIELD COAX CABLE
WITH BNC CONNECTORS :

BNC RG6 Coax Compression Connectors

-OR- This eBay Seller "ProWireGuy" will custom build you
any length RG6 Quad-Shield Coax Cable with either "F" or
"BNC" Connectors installed.

I haven't replaced my Coax lead since I bought the antenna about 5 years
ago.
If I replace it with the highest quality Coax I can get, what differences in
reception will I notice?
And what is the best Coax money can buy?
Thanks.
Lenny
