I have had NO problem extending my GPS antenna 50 feet using a low-loss
cable the size of RG59.  Also I have found all kinds of coax fittings on
eBay -- most for a song.

Thanks everyone for your ideas.  I have lots of shielded cable for a 
serial connection and don't want to buy LMR600 low loss coax at a $1+ a
foot!
