Don't get all hung up on cable types... my chart says at 400mhz....the difference between RG6 and RG 59 is only 3DB per 100 feet. Your in a house.... 50 feet would be a whopping cable run so only about 1.5DB of difference.

If you really want to make a difference buy a cheap amplifier... that will get you at least 10 DB of gain and mount it out at the antenna.

The down side is anytime you add an active component you run the risk of intermod from strong local signals... so try it unamplified first.
