    You are talking 750 or .750 hence the 3/4 inch. It is indeed the stuff that ran up towers. You won't find much of it other than for that purpose. Most transmission lines through a CATV plant have an aluminum shield. I have not seen that corrugated shield in quite some time. I think you may have something worth stripping out there. Is the corrugated a solid circle? or is it wrapped?

    How many feet do you have? I would take in 2 feet and ask your yard waht they would pay for it per pound and then go home and do whatever it takes to strip and seperate 10 pounds of it or so and then do the math to see if it is worth it to you.



    I have never tried to seperate it, but have made plenty of connectors for it and it was pretty hard to deal with as opposed to the solid smooth aluminum sheathing.

    Yes. I am an old cable rat. Never did towers, but plenty of head end work and lineman work.
