 Always try your best to keep your amtenna right by your LoRa device. This gives you best range. 

To reduce signal loss traveling through the coaxial cable (if your antenna is far away from the device) use a LMR-240 or for even lower signal loss you can go to a LMR-400 coax cable. 

Select your length & you can get LMR-400 on amazon if needed 👇

 Do you think this 6inch is okay?

 Yes that's great; keep the connection as short as possible.

 You'll have little to zero signal loss 💪

 Antenna design/usage is an artform lol. I assume ones made by a reputable company have been tested for the band that they advertise, but no guarantees. If an antenna is a few mm too long or two short, RF gain starts to tail-off quite sharply. There are ways of testing using an oscilloscope but I can't remember exactly how to do that now. #LoRa
