That would have been me Dave. I have been using Garden Variety RG6 on my 160 array for well over 20 years. I tested a single run of it with a pair of heathkit dummy loads. Test piece of cable was 10 feet long with F connectors to F-UHF adapters. Brick on the KEY on the Amp until the Dummy loads started to smoke. Amp off and grabbed the coax. No heating observed in the coax or the F connectors.
