Coax Cable, where to buy?
Hello to All,

I am new to fta and have been trying to setup a new dish. Due to the geography of where I live (the wrong side of a hill) my dish is located about 300' from my receiver. I installed using home depot rg6u coax but I now understand that I may need to use rg11 coax cable, due to its lower resistance. I live in the northeast (Massachusetts), not far from the Connecticut river. Would any readers have any suggestions on where to find rg11 coax, as home depot doesn't seem to have it in stock.
