Thanks, Mike.
It is corrugated outer conductor like normal Heliax. I haven’t measured the
inner conductor yet but did attempt to drill a straight 1/4” hole so I could
try to screw in the center pin used on the tubular center conductor on 7/8”.
There was plenty of wall thickness left. I’m just guessing the inner conductor
is about 3/8”. Solid foam dielectric. I can get a 7/8” connector over this
stuff though it measures larger in diameter. I think if I had center pins
that were made for 7/8” solid inner conductor Heliax, I might be in business.
