[TowerTalk] Help identifying coax

[GARY HUBER]

Agreed on the 9913..... I just took down some I had up over 25 years.... 
(bought a 500 foot spool) ...  the copper was still bright and no moisture 
problems. I used a RG-214 solid dielectric cable as the rotor loop and a 
double female slug to splice with rubber, 88, ScotchKote and repeat.

9913 works but its splices and connectors are very labor intensive in 
outside applications.

It sounds like the Belden 9913 that I tried twenty some years ago. I was
never successful at keeping moisture out of it.

I found a 52 ft roll of coax in my shop storage that I need help 
identifying.
I has a 12? gauge solid center conductor supported by a spiral support of
plastic within a hollow plastic tube shielded by foil covered by tinned 
braid
and a black jacket covering that.  No identifying marks on the jacket.  It 
is
about the diameter of RG-8 type.  It is quite stiff and P 259 fits.  I am 
not
familiar with the modern ‘low loss” types.  Thanks for any help.  Regards,
Bob
