Steve: Very seldom is coax used above 6 Gigs or even at 6 Gigs
other than jumpers. That is into the waveguide region.
The data supporting solid conductors over stranded due to diode
joints where corrision occurs, is certainly far more important
at the microwave frequencies, due to wavelength. However, it
lends credance to the threads we have had involving proper sealing
of coaxial cable ends to attenuate corrosion.

Hi, Jim --
Interesting. Could you pass along the info to obtain these app notes?
I would tend to give a fair amount of credence to the Andrew data. First,
they have the lab equipment to REALLY test this stuff. Second, they operate at
frequencies where these effects (and probably others) can become significant.
These frequencies are from 9 gHz. up to 13 gH.!
I think that this data comes from engineering and not marketing.
