I finally got a house out in the woods on five acres and I'm going to
set up a couple of pretty long wires and my Wellbrook ALA-1530. I've
pretty much decided on RG-6 for a couple of 150 ft. runs because the
stuff's dirt cheap and I can pick it up at the local Home Depot.

Be careful of coax purchases from Home Depot; strip the outer jacket and
inspect the braid before buying. Product that I have bought has lousy
shielding at low vhf (50 Mhz) and probably will be unsuitable at HF as
well. I don't remember the OEM.

Use satellite rated quad shield.
