Will RG6 improve my RG59 signal on my 5er
Looking to upgrade to the Jack antenna. I am afraid that is a waste of money because the wiring into the trailer is RG59. RG6 helps cable signal, but not sure of OTA signal?

I used to have a handy chart of coax cable loss provided by Beldin, makers of coax cable.
It listed several RG-6 and several RG-59 catalog numbers, all made by Belden
The very best RG-59 (NOT what is in my RV) was roughly the same as the very worst RG-6
The cheapest RG-59 had over 2x as much loss as the best and the best RG-65 less than half the loss of the cheapest.
That makes RG-6 up to 4 times better, or more, depending on the specific catalog number compaired... I have posted that chart in the past. I do not have it on this hard drive nor do I have access (For another month or two) to the other HD with it.
