Is this still manufactured? Belden discontinued it several decades ago.
I found a 250 ft spool NOS at the Milwaukee hamfest in the '70s and
added to my stash, figuring I would sometime find a use for it. I did,
nearly 30 years later, to feed a dipole that I also wanted to load as a
Tee vertical. I still have that line. I also have a few short lengths of
heavily used Amphenol that's similar to it.
The Belden cable has fairly low loss at low frequencies, but rises
quickly above 10 MHz.
