[TowerTalk] need help on using some free coax

[Al Williams]

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.
