[TowerTalk] Heliax question

[dj7ww at t-online.de]

HF 5/8" Cu2Y - 50 Ohm air dielectric cable has 22.3 jacket diameter, the solid inner conductor is 6.3mm diameter.
7/8" Cellflex cable or LDF5-50 has about 1.1" outside diameter, not 7/8"

Your other cable might be LDF4.5-50

In all my stuff I have about a 175 foot length of Heliax that measures 1 inch in diameter as opposed to the 7/8 inch measurement on the 7/8” Heliax I have.  I thought it could be that it is 7/8” that has swelled somehow, but it looks like new when I cut off the jacket.

The center conductor is solid - not tubular.  I cannot read any writing on it to know what the part number might be, nor have I been able to find anything on Google or ChatGpt.  

Do you know what I might have (part number) and where I could find a couple of connectors?

Thanks…Stan, K5GO
