I think the issue was that it's RG-58.

The amp is a UHF PA off a mobile rig, and I needed about 50 feet of

Not good, probably better to bypass (not use) the 15 watt amplifier
and drive the external amp direct from the exciter.
Not a thing wrong with using a length of coax as an attenuator if it's
done right. Have used this technique often when a little attenuation is
needed.
