2. Does a splice automatically result in signal loss? I have joined several lengths of high quality RG6 together to make my 130 foot cable run

Thanks!
The extra loss is of 12' prior to the preamp is about a half a db on the highest UHF channel and negligible on VHF.

The splice does add very slight losses, but the preamp before the splices has already negated the extra loss.
