I've measured a NOS Pasternak-branded RG6 with a copper center and two 
copper braid shields that came from a Sil Valley surplus house (HSC) 
that looked awfully close to a Belden part number, and flooded Commscope 
RG6 like DX Eng sells. I don't recall being surprised by either. I use a 
lot of the Commscope on my RX antennas, both ham and broadcast FM and 
TV. Both are very good quality. The Commscope stuff is VERY nice to pull 
long distances -- the runs to some of my RX antennas are almost 400 ft 
through the woods.
