Why would you do that? Solid has less loss. If you are worried about it
flexing too much and work-hardening (or breaking) the center conductor,
use a
strain relief of shrink sleeving at both ends.



For less than 10 feet there is no noticable differance in the loss of a
solid vers stranded center conductor for the same size coax. When used for
jumpers that are going to be moved alot such as with a HT then the wire
will work harden and break.. Maybe in the middle and not at the very end
near the connector. More than likely it will be about 4 to 6 inches from
the HT end.
