Mike, this stuff was being sold at Hamfests back a few years ago, and I 
believe it is military surplus.  I bought two 80' rolls myself and am 
currently using one to feed an HF quad.  They are 50 ohm  and touted to 
be low loss.  I measured about 0.6-0.7 dB loss for the 80' length at 50 MHz.

73, Joe
