That said, the name "RG-6" floats across my memory, no idea why.

Rej just sent me a little bit of some Belden 22awg telfon insulated shielded cable from Apex Jr. It's extremely nice. I've also had some good results with Smallbear's thin shielded stranded cable, which was easy to work with but not as poseable as what Rej sent me.

I have used RG-174 50 Ohm coax before on my BMP builds in the past.

It was easy to work with.

The stuff Rej gets is pretty amazing. It's not hard to work with and very tough with a nice, slim diameter.

PTFE all the way. This is Teflon/Kapton insulated coax, very small diameter and very stiff.

To hook into the shield just wrap around the base of the shield, solder and trim off the extra shield, heatshrink.
