Van Allen belts, solar wind, rotating earth magnetic field, etc.

Totally irrelevant. Do you really think he meant "around the moon" in a literal sense? Which part of "let's say" is misunderstandable?
The point was about an extremely long cable. Don't muddy the waters, please.
DavidAlfa:
A huge short, at least for a few days/weeks, until the cable charges up?
As per 82pF/m, given 2c length (600*10⁹), capacitance would be 49.2F !

Who said the shield is connected?

Stop being practical.

My guess: OP wants to hear 50Ω.
FriedMule:
I am sorry had to run out the door, and I am sorry for my badly formulated question.

Let's say you had an Ohm meter that, let's say measures twice a second, it is able to measure the cables.
You measure the center conductor. Your Ohm meter is not particular fantastic, so if you measure 1 inch or 10 inches will just be detected as about zero Ohms.

I have deliberately chosen the RG58 because it is a general "standard" without being too technical in frequency, shielding or material.

The question is mostly about what you would imagine your Ohm-meter will say when it returns a measuring result before the Ohm-meter's signal can have time to travel all the way. :-)
