If the coax is short, the loss due to mismatch dominates. If the coax is
long, the attenuation per X meters will dominate.
There should be a crossover length What is it for 50 ohm RG-58 and 75 ohm
RG-6?
If you are designing your own antenna, you have the option of making one that
matches 75 ohm rather than 50.
