CATV - Does your yard take it? What do they pay?

Very easy to check, the center wire with a magnet. I found the Direct TV coax center wire is solid copper but the local cable coax is copper coated steel. I also have a lot of old coax from my ham radio antennas that I have been stripping. The ham coax is copper braid and solid copper center wire. Best to all, Mike.

I stripped alittle of the coax that I found and the center was magnetic.If the center was solid copper I still think it wouldn't be worth stripping. I would just toss it in with my insulated wire.
