Ur better off OM with new RG 6. The new stuff is double shielded, inpregnated (with vaseling
)
I know how you feel. The last Wednesday storm left us without power for over two days, antenna down, tree across driveway and power lines for whole neighborhood, you name it.
Allegheny Power said it was the worst storm they've ever experienced in KY, WV, etc. Hundreds of thousands w/o power up to a week.
It was fun camping 'in,' isolating the family room with a rug over the entryway, gas fireplace running 24/3, heating water on a brick in front of it, cooking meals on the gas grill outside. Ate out a lot too at places that still had power. Luckily we had gas hot water heater. Your new fangled flash, instant electric water heaters would have been very dead.
