In another thread I posted this link about antennas, but in that same linked article they also talked about cable run losses and presented information on new technology feedlines which I thought interesting (excerpts below), and I wondered if it could be beneficial for a part 15 station that employs long cable runs - or if fiber-optic would even be compatible.

"...UHF cable runs of less than 50 feet do not require active antennas or in-line amplification to compensate for loss. The loss is too small to make any audible difference, and without carefully calibrating gain structure you put the overall health of your audio ecosystem at risk...
...With the introduction oflow-cost RFoF technology, active antennas and in-line amplification are becoming increasingly obsolete. In the past, if an installed system required a cable run over 100’ there were only two options: use expensive plenum rated coax, or use some combination of active antennas/in-line amps and carefully manage the gain structure to avoid overload or coax line loss. With fiber optic transmission, signal can be sent miles with little to no loss at all."
