RG6 works fine for transmitting at 1.5 KW.
KM1H tipped me off to this back in the '80s and I started using some --
scrounged from the scrap pile at a local CATV yard -- for my 80 and 40 m delta
loop arrays.This was not new cable but stuff that had been in service for some
time.
Carl used his with F connectors at full power but I either used PL259s or just
hardwired it into relay boxes or the antenna -- either screw-down connections
in the relay box or twist-and-tape of the shield and solder the center
conductor at the antenna. I had some of these in service for 10-15 years (at
two different QTHs) without any problem. Using the cheap tape, of course.
