Yes that's all true, but that sounds like a long coax run. Have you
considered coaxial cable loss at that frequency?

The long run requires very good coax to keep the signal low. That
usually means the easy to pull skinny coax can't be used; also, the
tubing might be tied glued in a few places, so it's not obvious the idea
is practical.


That should be "to keep the signal losses low".
