I just installed an omni-directional TV antenna using RG59U coax, but the
picture on some channels is fuzzy. During a test before permanent
installation, I used normal TV coax (black stuff) and the picture was fine
on all the channels. Is RG59U the right ohm cable???

RG59U cable is 75 ohm and will not cause a mismatch. However, RG6U is also
75 ohm and is less lossy. I doubt there would be much difference in a
short run, but you can replace it and see. RG6 is slightly larger
(diameter greater by about 3/32") than RG59.
