Default Is RG/6 center conductor copperweld?

Tim -

Belden made a very popular RG-6/U quad shield coax (7199?) that was a steel
center conductor with a copper flashed overlay.
Worked fine -- rated up to 1 GHz.

The last 1000' spool that I ordered was a newer cable (solid copper center
conductor) and good to 2 GHz.

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?
