I would like to know if I can use RG-6 75 ohm coaxil TV cable to feed a 14
Mhz dipole with 100 watts PEP.

Thank you very much.

Yes you can.

Some RG-6 cable has an aluminum shield and can not be soldered to if that is
a problem for you.

In June, we had a long discussion of RG-6 coax, the proper connectors to use
for it, and how well it works.

To recap, you need to buy COMPRESSION connectors and the correct tools for them.
"F" connectors are used all over the world in the cable tv and satellite
industry. F to UHF (aka PL-259) adaptors are available and work well.

In my case, I have a cheap source of BNC to to UHF adaptors, F to UHF adaptors
are hard to find and expensive. So I use compression BNC connectors for those
ends.
