marksan,
 
  i would stay away from plated aluminum.  just my thoughts after 15 years in 
the plating bussiness.  just pry the wallet open and buy real coax.
 
hell use 8x it's less than $ 0.30 per foot.  even rg213 is cheap by the long 
roll.
 
  or look at the small heliax at

I am looking at buying a CommScope WBC400 Coax Cable Bulk Reel of 1,000 
Feet. I would be using this coax to run out to my 40m 4 Square in my back 
field about 250 feet away. I am also planning on running it up my 100 foot 
tower to feed a 20m through 6m beam. I might use it to make up patch cables 
in my shack.

Is this a good cable to use. I see that the center conductor is copper 
plated aluminum. Will this be an issue and would soldered PL-259's be OK to 
use with this cable.

thanks Mark N1UK
