I have one piece, and it measures 0.745.
This is a bit like the previous discussions on Buryflex!
I read an interesting article on the 'net by NEC on a production
system for foam dielectric coax for low microwave frequencies... it is
clearly a greater challenge than extruding PE for solid dielectric.
Reg's response is interesting, I draw the conclusion that a 'quick and
dirty' confirmation of quality of a foam cable is whether its measured
VF is close to spec, it is it off, so is the Zo likely to be off.
