Stuart - that has been done also  - by and Engineer at Belden I think - I
cant remember right now who did it but if I find it again I will send it .
He used a "triaxial method " with the coax under test inside another outer
conductor .

http://www.tennadyne.com/pdf/coaxial_tenn.pdf I was wrong it was Times Wire and Cable - here is a link to the Tennadyne site that has the paper. Alos says much was in QST in April 1981.

That is a good project for someone to measure how much current passes
thru the 5 per cent open space.  Since the shield wires criss cross in
good woven shields, there may be more shorting of the current, than you
would expect.  The shield density affects the bending radius of the
cable and its flexibility.  Of course, using less shield wires lowers
the cost of production.
