Thanks to all that replied. I was reminded that the shielding is aluminum etc. I had forgotten that little detail over the years.

I do now recall that the cable I used did have copper - it was used exclusively at the head-ends and was hard to get.

Hence, I think I will parallel some RG8X, use cable ties and Goop, and make my own. That way I can make solid soldered connections for everything.

Gotta do things right the first time and have it last many years with no further service.

Thanks for the reminder.
