I have some "new" 20 year old Belden 8285  300 ohm twin lead.  It's stamped
"Permohm UHF".   Conductors   are 20 ga.  and are 7 strands of  copper clad
steel in a solid  poly.

Does this stuff degrade with age the same as coax?   Could I use this to
feed a dipole 160-10 meters at 100 watts?  I know the conductor size is
small, but I have a lot of this stuff and could put it  to use.

Tnx Steve KW3A
