Good job Greg. Also thanks for the work on the N2PK VNA software.

By inspection of the loss figures for Buryflex on Davis' web site one
can note that the loss at lower frequencies is higher than other RG-8
type cables.

Importing their data into Dan's (AC6LA) "bestfit.xls" spreadsheet
shows very poor correlation with theoretical k1, k2 coefficients. I'm
observing something similar on some RG-142 that I am measuring with my
N2PK VNA. The '142 has a silver-coated, copper-plated steel center
conductor and I believe that the skin depth encompasses the steel at
lower frequencies.

Anyway, that might be a factor, assuming of course, that their data
are valid.
