Right. Or 75 ohms for 75 ohm splitters and systems.  I always specified 
low loss CATV RG6 for wireless mic systems, and most ham RX systems are 
designed around 75 ohms. The reason is simple -- we can buy much better 
75 ohm cables at much lower prices than what we would have to pay for 50 
ohm cable.  Phat Satellite, for example, sells 1,000 ft spools of 
flooded Commscope RG6 for less than $100, including shipping.
