Hold on a minute,

Satellite TV coax is 75 ohm. You need 50 ohm cable for 10base2. If you 
really must use coax then a roll of RG58 is readily available from most 
ham radio stores for not much. They may even have the 50 ohm BNC's to go 
with it. You'll also need terminators and some sort of hub affair to 
make multiple runs.

In this day its probably more expensive to use coax. When cat5E raw 
cable is only $60 for a 1000 feet box why not just use CAT5?
