Hello all!

The company I work for has palettes of heavy coax that they are getting
ready to take to the scrap yard to get some extra cash.  The inner
conductor looks to be stranded 18-gauge, covered with 1/8" of
polyethylene.  Over that is a wrap of 41 side-by-side 28-gauge copper
strands, which are then wrapped with copper foil and insulated with more
polyethylene.  The OD of the outer conductor and wrap is .2" almost
exactly.  Would this be useful to anybody for any reason?  Would it be a
good alternative to copper tubing is making a coil for free?  Or would
the small twisting of the outer strands have an adverse affect?  Could
the inner conductor be used for anything?

Thanks,
Joe
