www.timesmicrowave.com Go to the online calculator and figure up the losses on your cable. Be sure to set the freq at 5800 mhz. I'd not even count the connectors as loss, they are usually in the .1 to .5 range. But for a survey adding 1dB of loss per connector is safe. As I read this

With 140 ft of LMR-400 at 5.8GHz, the loss is about 15db.  With a good antenna topside, you might get some usable results, but not good ones For the RG6, I can't find any loss specs for freq. above 900MHz.  At 900MHz, the loss is about 10db for 140 ft.  Extrapolating that to 5.8GHz, I

Cliff, Are you sure the first 140' was RG6? I think that is 75 ohm cable so that may be a problem, if it was something else it still might have too much loss at 5.8 GHz to get any signal to the SA. You may be on to something with the adapters, if they were just using good quality N-Type
