> I saw some coax a few years ago where the center conductor was not entirely in the middle of the insulator. Bad molding? It was RIGHT up near the shield in some spots and centered in others... If I remember correctly it was a foam dielectric... A big problem with foam dielectric is that it'll cold flow under the right conditions. It's a problem with wound coax baluns.
