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.
