AFAIK, the only reason they even make solid copper RG-6
at all is for applications that send DC over the coax to
operate such things as preamps. DirecTV does that
a lot.

I measured the difference in loss (dB per 100 ft) between solid copper
(SC) center conductor RG-6 vs. copper clad steel (CCS) Quad-Core RG-6 coaxial
cable. The difference is insignificant on 160 meters until
cable length exceeds 350 feet. You can see the affect of the steel
core and its thin c
