For estimates of cable delay on RG-58 cable or other cable that has a 
0.659 velocity factory, you can use 1.542800 nanosecond per foot.

Best to confirm it.  Use your stations 1 PPS and connect it to a tee at 
the start input of the time interval counter.  Connect the cable under 
test to the tee and to the stop input.  Make many measurements and 
average...
