I designed several in-building systems with leaky coax, some over 1000'. 
I have even used RG6 with the shield removed every 18" with a grinder 
and then covered with Scotch 33. This worked very well and made my boss 
very happy! This was for 152 MHz paging. Making the shield slots was 
easy and I could do an entire 1000' box of cable in an hour or so.
