Figure it's copper, so 16 ppm/deg C. velocity factor is about 2/3, so
30 ft is about 45 nanoseconds. about 1ps/degree
Really, you also need to look at the effect on the propagation velocity
of the radial expansion of the coax, too, and the change in epsilon.
You can look up a "phase vs frequency" curve for most coax which factors
all of this in.
