[time-nuts] Why a 10MHz sinewave output?

Related question:   Assuming I'm using 10MHz sine wave.   What's the
best physical cable to use?  Is there any good reason to use 50 ohm
cable?   What about 75 ohm?   I looked at a schematic of my counter
and it looks like the 10MHz signal hits some high impedance chip
inside.    RG6 seems like the way to go.   It's double shieled and
lots of cable TV parts could be used.
