This is a good suggestion. I've used RG-174 to build attenuators for a long
time (I found a reel of it at a local surplus store). RG-174 is small and easy
to work with. It will handle a hundred watts past 1,000 MHz. Check out the
specs here:

I've never done this myself but I've
heard of people using a run of

feedline between the two to act as an attenuater.
