Default Is RG/6 center conductor copperweld?


"Tim Shoppa" wrote in message

Is the center conductor of the el-cheapo RG-6 found in home
improvement stores always copperweld? It seems to be 18AWG copperweld
but maybe I'm being naive...

Is this part of the RG-6 mil-spec, or just the way they make it today?

I did the refrigerator magnet test on several pieces of RG6, and the only
one that appears to be copperweld, for sure, was marked as 2300 MHz Digital
Satellite Cable. It is on my UHF TV antenna, and I think sold as RCA brand.
