Anyone know the velocity factor of JSC #1317 450 ohm line, 18 AWG?
Googling seems to give a variety of answers, and it's not posted at
the JSC site.

tnx,

You could get a sample and measure it !


Well, I discarded that idea because I have no idea how.

But then, on a hunch, I checked the manual that came with my MFJ-269,
and sure enough, on page 34, it tells how to measure Velocity Factor,
utilizing the distance to fault mode. It'll take a day or so to
recharge the 269's batteries, and then I'll have at it.
