Hi, It's me again, the guy with the 1 KW AM transmitter.
Today's question:
All of the interconnect cables on this thing are made of a
cable that I've never seen before. Not too surprising
since it was probably built before I was born.
The cable is solid copper
center conductor surrounded by a dielectric made of an
impregnated wrapped paper type stuff, then there is
a layer of a fabric type stuff. On the outside is
a solid metal shield, not articulated like aluminum
armor cable, but solid metal. The total size is
somewhere between 1/4 and 3/8 inches in diameter.
Wild stuff. If I bend it too much the outside shield
cracks. Is it lead? Aluminum?
