As Bear said much of the new coax used by cable companies and dish tv have copper plated steel wire. The connectors on these are brass so at least you have that. Much of the coax used by ham radio operators, cb'ers, and most other radios that transmit have solid copper center wires. Most of the "good" coax has either Al or Cu shield so there can be more there to sell. Mike.

Now go beat the copper out of something, Miked

Yes. Both of these had the weaved shield wire in addition to an aluminum foil wrap. But I do suspect this wire was a pre-fab that came off an old DirecTV receiver I have. Just been cleaning out the tubs of old electronics/wiring from my attic and was surprised by this. Thanks for the info. So does that wire just go in the shred pile?
