Hello all
What determines the Velocity Factor of a coax cable.
Is it the center conductor awg,dielectric,shield or all combined
I am building a
Lindenblad Antenna for 2 Meters

its asked to use

RG-59 polyethylene foam coax with stranded center conductor

I think the VF is .66

I cant find any stranded center cond where I am,so I want to try it with
Solid,but it seems all the solid is VF .88

anyone have any input on this

thanx
