Like the man said - it's overkill. I'd recommend RG142.

As for the isolation - engineers have an inside joke that
goes something like this:

Oh say can you see.....
Three Hundred Dee Bee....

This is a range greater than that between the smallest
detectable signal to an unimaginable amount of power.
In other words, it doesn't exist in the natural world.
AFAIK, nobody makes anything with "300 dB of isolation".
Any engineers out there who would care to comment?

I used to work with andrews 3 1/8 coax for broadcast stations. With 25kw
input there is almost no measurable radiation from the cable. Andrews
uses a SOLID copper outer jacket that is far superior to any foil or
braid jacketed cable. But for RG58 in a 10 foot cable a 1db loss is very
minor. Larsen antennas does sell a RG58 low loss cable, mainly used for
cellular service.
