Our preference is for Pope WF100 which is a foam filled cable.

Are they bringing the Pope name back, Andy? I'd have called it Webro
WF100. Whichever, I second your recommendation - WF100 (Webro Foam,
1.00 mm) is good stuff. I far prefer the foam dielectric cables over
the more traditional (in Britain) 5-cell semi-air spaced kind. Foam
doesn't conduct water, and is easier to handle, less prone to kinking
and crushing, etc. etc.

As used by Vatican Radio?

:-) Pope NV was a Dutch coaxial cable manufacturer, well-known for their
TV distribution cables. They were part of the Philips empire, until
being acquired by Belden about a decade ago. The factory in Venlo is
still going (and is also where CT100 is now made, since the old Raydex
factory in Skelmersdale closed).

BTW, the CAI list of approved 'benchmarked' cables is he
