I would say that not all tuners are created equal,
They are consistently mediocre in HT receivers.
RG-6 is fine, but you have to remember that AM
is Amplitude Modulated NOT Frequency Modulated,
so since the earth is not flat you will lose your
ablity to pick up the station sooner than with
Frequency Modulation (FM).
You have the two reversed - FM is line of sight and gets lost sooner, disappearing into space, while AM follows the curvature of the earth and can be heard at far greater distance.
Make sure you expose lots of the end of that RG6 like Larry says. The whole distance on the way to the attic is shielded from receiving any AM or any outside radiation at all.
