That's 50 ohm coax, so not ideal for your application.  KZ1W sent me 
some miniature TFE coax to measure, the size of RG179, which is 75 ohms 
with FEP jacket. That would be a better choice. Because it's so small 
(0.1-in o.d.), dissipation is fairly high, so it will be important that 
it be exposed to air.  I'm currently developing winding guidelines for 
it. Because it's so much smaller than RG400, they are very different.

Yes.
