I was given a couple partly filled spools (~24" diam) of what appears to be 75 
ohm coax.  The only identification is COMMSCOPE  on the coax and Migraheal on 
the spool.  It has braid wrapped over foil with a very sticky substance between 
them and also to the foam.around the center coax.  The jacket is quite thick 
and not very pliable.

I tried soldering to the braid and to the foil without much success.  The 
sticky stuff is hard to work with.  I don't know if this coax is good for RF 
but am planning on using it to bring the M2 2800 rotator pulses back from the 
tower which requires a 400' run.

Any ideas will be appreciated.
