200FT Cable Run Can't Post

I need to run a cable about 200ft from my dish to the receiver, preferably without an amplifier. Would a RG6 do the job or would a RG11 be in order? The cable will be exposed to the northwest Montana weather in the summer for about a month, then rolled back up for next year. My Dad has a fishing cabin in North West Montana that needs DirecTV desperately due to lack of communication of any sort with the outside world. Thanks for the help!

I think anything over 100ft needs an amp. Try posting over here , a lot of installers can give you answers about RG11

I'll give that a try.
