You might keep it separate and ask if they have a price for coax cable. Mine is 0.12/lb.
People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

Double check the cable first to make sure its not a higher grade. Mechanic and I strip the higher grade stuff...used in CB Antenna coax...I think rg-58. It will have copper braided shielding and copper core.

does anyone strip it? I found 50 feet maybe, its a copper center with alum braid. at least 20 feet has already been taken down to the alum braid.
Much/most of the cable tv cable is steel core(with a copper coating) and Al braid. The DirectTV coax has a solid copper core and for me worth stripping. As was stated before the cb/ham radio coax normally has a copper braid and solid copper core. Some coax has a solid copper core and Al braid. The only stuff I don't strip is the Steel core ones. (by core I am referring to the center conductor) Mike.

Now go beat the copper out of something, Miked
Does it have a solid copper core(center conducter)? Mike.

And the real fooler will be the steel can be copper coated. Might have to scrape it or use a magnet on it.The only stuff I don't strip is the Steel core ones. (by core I am referring to the center conductor) Mike.
