No one uses skinny crap coax at those frequencies! Even at UHF frequencies not quite in the GHZ range, a 'professional' or an amateur radio operator (HAM) would know to use coaxial hardline for long runs. ;-)
3dB loss equates to cutting signal in half.
10dB loss equates to cutting signal by 1/10.
20dB loss equates to cutting signal by 1/100.

Well, I happen to concur with him, he IS an idiot...

Yes, he's an idiot.

Nice online cable loss calculator. From the video, it appeared that he was using skinny RG-174 cable at best with SMA connectors.
At 2400MHz and 20-feet with a 1:1 SWR (perfect match), the loss was a bit over 15dB. So his 5-watts of signal is attenuated to 0.15-watts, and that doesn't take into consideration the transition loss in his connector adapters going from SMA to type N connectors.
PRICELESS!!!
