The only problem with using RG58/U is that you are going to have a pretty large
coil. Also, resistors are definitely a lot cheaper even though I buy RG58/U in
500 foot spools for making the interconnect cable kits for various radios that
I sell.
One "trick" that works when using tube type equipment is to put a 50 ohm load
to ground on the input and then "tapping" this with a fairly small value
capacitor. Hallicrafters did this with the HA-2 and HA-6 to allow the use of
100 watt exciters and I did this on the input of the transmitting converter to
drop the 8 watts from the exciter to about 2 watts that is required by the
mixer. Cheap and dirty, but it does work!

RG-58 also makes an excellent attenuator
