RW....Nice install.
While everyone talks numbers on all communication cable,
in real life a run as short as yours would show no real
loss or improvement. Being a short run is the key here.
I ran this out when the OP posted this with generic hi-end RG-58, and it works out to roughly 3.6db @ 10', and his run has to be very close if not exceeding that. That's less than 1/2 the power to the antenna. Don't tell people that's not significant.
