Getting ready to put up a Discone antenna (Sky Scan DX V1300) and am
looking for further suggestions and opinions regarding what cable to run. I
am not sure exactly how far it will be. To estimate it though, I would say
between 50 and 75 feet to where I plan on bring it into the house to the
scanner. (BC 796D). Any input will be appreciated...
TIA

Nope... use a 50 ohm co-axial cable.

Don't worry about impedance, a 1.5(75 ohm) to 1(50 ohm) match is fine,
even if transmitting, and on reception, it's totally meaningless. RG6 is
a lot easier to work with, and is cheaper than all but the crappiest RG8
type too. There are no real drawbacks to using it...
