I've got some of that which I purchased new, and did some extensive
tests on it with a network analyzer. The loss varies all over the map
depending on how you coil, bend, or flex the cable, and I never saw loss
anywhere near as low as the spec says. A typical value at 400 MHz was
more like 5 - 5.5 dB/100 ft. Glad you're happy with it.

Roy what kind of coax do you recommend along the same type ? I soon plan on
putting up several beams, tribander for the low bands, 6 meter, 2 meter and
a 432 antenna. Should be running about 125 feet or so. While I know
hardline would be best for the VHF , I don't want to (can't spend the money,
easy to install for the rotator) so I want to stay with one of the
9913/lmr400 types. I have had a piece of 9913 up for about 10 years and it
seems to be ok, no water I can tell, I still would like to go with a solid
foam type instead of the hollow core .

Just looking at the specks and advertising can sometimes be deceiving.
