Topband: RG-6 questions

[Jim Brown]

I've seen some data CCS center coax. It matters below about 5 MHz.

What is your application for this coax?  There's a Belden product with a 
double copper braid shield and a solid copper center. Look up 9290.  
About six years ago, I bought a partial spool of a very comparable 
product at HSC with Pasternak's name on it.  I still have some of it. At 
the same time, I also scored a nearly full 1,000 ft spool of 8213, which 
feeds my high dipoles.

These are classed as analog video cables, where copper loss at low 
frequencies was a big deal. Since the transition to digital video, I 
suspect they sell a lot less of it. :)  There are a lot more -- see 
pages 6.38 - 6.39 in this link.
