A friend just gave me 89'6" of heavy duty coax. Problem is
that I can't find any labeling on it. Maybe it rubbed off - the
jacket is unlike any I've seen - more like plastic than coax.

Here are the specs I measured with my ruler and a MFJ-269:

Velocity factor = .85 +/- .03
Loss = 1.58db @ 150mhz for 89.5' run
Dimensions equal to RG-8
The coax is a stiff as 9913
The outer jacket is a tough as a fingernail
Solid copper center conductor just small enough to fit in a PL-259
Solid dielectric
Foil inner sheild
Tinned copper braid

Anyone know which brand/model this is?
