Default Velocity Factor of Coax

You might want to consider using RG-6/u instead of RG-59. These daze,
the quality of RG-59 coax is rather marginal. I've seen 80% coverage



Beware of the Aluminum foil and shields though. Once it gets wet there is
no stopping the internal corrosion and will generate broadband noise under
power. This includes both RG6 and 9913 and LMR types. They have been
banned from all commercial sites around here.

Bring a knife with you and inspect before you buy. Tinned Copper braid is
better, Silver clad rigid is best.
