Mea culpa.
Jim is right. I did not mean to besmirch overseas or Asian
manufacturers as I know they are very capable of producing well
designed products that will meet or exceed US Mil-spec standards for
coaxial cable.
My error was in remembering some coax I bought years ago from the
before mentioned chain that fell far short of what I would consider a
quality product.
My apologies to the group.
