Default Coax recomendations

I'd be glad to compare results and methodologies with anyone else who
has measured this coax. It would be particularly interesting and
educational if someone else's results are significantly different from mine.

Davis BuryFlex 9914 does not have the center conductor suspended by a thin
spiral.

It amazes me that no one else (that I can find) has found Davis BuryFlex to
be "bad coax". It has been in production well over 10 years.
Moreover I am amazed how many of you are non-thinking lambs following along
head-to-tail after your shepherd.
And also Davis emphasizes in it's data that this coax is flexible enough for
rotator loops and yet one guy says it is "bad coax" and so everyone falls to
their knees and worships accordingly?

And as far as data goes...is this guys data more accurate then the Davis RF
company that has been in the wire and cable business
with engineering professionals on the payroll since 1980? Sheesh......take
off the blinders people.....thousands of miles of Davis 9914 have been
installed by government,commercial and amateur stations and just now we find
out it's "bad coax" after more than 10 years?

Somebody is asleep at the switch.......
