Center conductor is silver plated copper strands with a steel core which
I'd never seen before.

##  Nope.  Look at 
http://www.caledonian-cables.co.uk/Coaxia_Cable/M17_RG/RG304.html
It clearly depicts the center conductor as solid in their cross sectional 
diagram.  The only silver plated copper
strands are the  two braids.   I wonder how much this stuff sells  for ?



diagram is inconsistent with the table. Table says PTFE, diagram says PE dielectric. It's probably PTFE.

You could probably figure out the plating thickness if you look at the attenuation vs frequency curve.
