YES.  Also, there is NO good reason for a foil shield at HF, and several 
authorities have noted long term aging issues with contact between the 
braid and foil.  W2VJN noted this in the latest edition of his excellent 
book on Managing Interstation Interference with respect to the stability 
of stubs made with LMR400.

I suggest that you study my tutorial on Coax and Stubs.

IMO, the Davis stuff hits the sweet spot for HF operation, based on 
performance specs and cost.
