RG6 is 75 ohm cable. Why would you buy a great radio and worry about
performance,then go use the wrong cable. You start out at a 1.5:1 swr.
Idon't get it.

Subject: [Elecraft] OT: pwr rating of RG6, etc
Top banders use RG6 all the time and run full bore (and then some)
through it. At 1 Mhz, it is rated at 4kw.
If you're only interested in 100 watts output (you didn't say what
frequency you operate), you're good to go with RG6 up to 1GHz.
The "white stuff" is so cheap, you can replace it every 5 years if you
want to be conservative with concerns about UV deterioration.

PS...you can always paint black coax using exterior paint. Mine gets
painted "for free" every time the house is repainted. LOL
