Signal change when I move the coax wire why ?

64.18.171.216

Hi

Last night when I installed a new tuner, I was listening a jazz station that
doesn't have a strong signal.

I was working on the back of the stereo system and I lost the station when I moved the
RG6 coax behind the tuner. If moved again the wire and the station cames in again. I
looked at the connexions and found that every contact was correct.

Every time a station has a weak signal, it seems to do the same thing. It doesn't do that with strong signals.

The RG6 goes from the tuner 75 ohm inputs to a Yagi antenna in the roof. The lenght of the cable is about 40 feet. It is connected with a 75 ohm to 300 ohms transformer near the antenna.

Coax wire shouldn't work as an antenna right ?

I know that RG6 coax isn't the same quality as RG59 Can it be the problem ?

Will I have a stronger signal If i use RG59 instead of the RG6 ?

Thanks a lot
