[TowerTalk] 300 ohm shielded cable

[Bob Wanderer]

Sounds more like "messengered" 75-Ohm cable TV drop cable.  The messenger
(or strand) is used for strain relief between the tap port and the house.
The cable would probably be RG6-type although it could be RG59-type.  Other
possibilities include "RG7," RG611," or RG11-type.  The ones in quotes are
"hybrid" cables for the cable TV industry along thje lines of RG8X -- They
are physically the size of RG6 but their attenuation characteristics are
closer to that of RG11.

A spool of the above followed me home from a ham feast and I would
like to try to find out something about it. So here is a description
in hopes that someone can help.

Black jacket
Foil with messenger wire mabey not the right term but a wire in
the foil
Foam installation
Stranded wires that appear to be copper clad steel
