Why would you do that? Solid has less loss. If you are worried about it
flexing too much and work-hardening (or breaking) the center conductor, use a
strain relief of shrink sleeving at both ends.

Solid is fine base applications.
In mobile or portable use it is a failure waiting to happen.
NOT IF----------WHEN--PERIOD
In over 40 years of experience in mobile communications the 2nd thing I check
is the '58 at the pl259.(first being the fuse) 95% of the time broken center
conductor. Funny I've never seen this happen with stranded.
