RG6 TV coax question

I'm in San Antonio TX, still trying to fix SV360 TracStar antenna.
Right now, I need to buy a few feet of sun resistant coax.
Is this product hard to find? What kind of local store would have it?
Thanks

    Even Radio Shack, (While they last) and if the store near you is closing the prices are "Fire Sale" level.

    ost all the Coax is sun resistant but do this.

    You have some o it that is exposed.. Put a bulkehad connector in the line soon as you can (at the roof line or just below the roof) and that way you can replace just that short section every decade or so.

  • Thanks guys,
    I'll go get some tomorrow (Monday). There's a Home Depot location, and very close to it there's a Altex and a Radio Shack.

    wa8yxm,
    Of all the coax and wires/cables that are in the roof/ceiling space, this short run is the ONLY one that's in a plastic conduit, making it possible to be easily replaced (lucky stars maybe).
  • Bet ya can't get out of Altex with just coax....
    That's like Costco for nerds
