I have read that the skin effect at 2 MHz may be deeper than the copper coating
on a copper covered steel inner conductor of most RG6 cables. Thus, as I plan
for long cable runs back from my (to be installed) Beverages I am thinking I
need either solid copper, solid aluminum,. or copper covered aluminum for my
RG6 coax. So the question is am I wrong in this understanding?
Also, does the shield matter? It's not very thick so does a foil and 60%
aluminum shield do the job? Or should I be looking at a foil and 95 percent
copper shield like the Belden 1694.
I know it may not be too material but I want to make an informed decision.
Thanks! and
73,
Kevin, N9JKP
