Maximum Cable Length for Composite Video Signal

134.121.250.5

I asked this question last week, but unfortunately didn't get quite all of the information I'm looking for.
Someone told me that the maximum distance Composite Video Signal will travel is 100 meters over RG59 cabling. I'm looking for the maximum distance over say, an 18ga pair of stranded copper. Hopefully it will be > 100 ft.... The output is from a Sony Handycam to a 3" color handheld TV. Obviously, even if there is a small amount of distortion and/or static at that distance, it won't be visible on such a small screen. Thanks in advance-
