Very useful, though I'm still not clear about using it for HF. I found eBay
listing 270364333691 (worth seeing, low cost, good pictures and description),
but that shows a thin braid and film that I read might not be adequate for
shielding at HF. Low cost is great but I wonder if trying to get good
connections to aluminium braid will be more trouble than it's worth, if the
worth of a cable with a copper braid isn't that much higher. (Still looking
for one). The cable that seems most likely to work based on all I read is a
BT2002 cable with a double copper braid over a foam dielectric and stranded
core, but the cost is three times higher.
